    • Do the stoplamps illuminate? 
    1. Yes  : INSTALL a new BPP switch. REFER to BRAKE PEDAL POSITION (BPP) SWITCH . TEST the system for normal operation.
    2. No  : If not equipped with IVD, GO to M4.

      If equipped with IVD, GO to  M5.

  4. M4 CHECK THE BPP SWITCH INPUT CIRCUIT TO THE REM 
    • Connect: BPP Switch C278.
    • Disconnect: REM C420b.
    • Measure the voltage between the REM C420b-13, circuit 29S -DK30 (OG), harness side and ground while pressing the brake pedal.

    • Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? 
    1. Yes  : GO to  M8.
    2. No  : REPAIR the BPP input circuit between the REM and BPP switch. TEST the system for normal operation.
  5. M5 CHECK THE BPP SWITCH OUTPUT CIRCUIT TO THE IVD MODULE 
    • Disconnect: IVD Module C155.
    • Measure the voltage between the IVD module C155-41, circuit 29S-CF1 (OG/YE), harness side and ground while pressing the brake pedal.

    • Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? 
    1. Yes  : GO to M6.
    2. No  : REPAIR the BPP input circuit between the IVD module and BPP switch. TEST the system for normal operation.
  6. M6 CHECK THE IVD MODULE 
    • Connect a fused (5A) jumper wire between the IVD module C155-41, circuit 29S-CF1 (OG/YE), harness side and the IVD module C155-44, circuit 29S-CF2 (OG/BU), harness side.

    • Press the brake pedal and observe the stoplamps.
    • Do the stoplamps illuminate?
    1. Yes  : GO to  M9.
    2. No  : LEAVE the jumper wire connected. GO to M7.
  7. M7 CHECK THE IVD MODULE OUTPUT CIRCUIT TO THE REM 
    • Disconnect: REM C420b.
    • Measure the voltage between the REM C420b-13, circuit 29S -DK30 (OG), harness side and ground while pressing the brake pedal.

    • Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? 
    1. Yes  : GO to M8.
    2. No  : REPAIR circuit 29S-CF2 (OG/BU) or 29S-DK30(OG). TEST the system for normal operation.
  8. M8 CHECK FOR REM OPERATION 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Disconnect all REM connectors.
    • Check for:
      • corrosion
      • pushed-out pins
    • Connect all REM connectors and make sure they seat correctly.
