Pinpoint Test K: The Stoplamps Are On Continuously: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford Mustang. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Refer to OEM WIRING DIAGRAMS , Turn Signal/Stop/Hazard Lamps for additional information.

When the brake pedal is applied, the stoplamp switch routes voltage to the Smart Junction Box (SJB), the PCM and Body Control Module B (BCM-B). When the BCM-B detects the brake pedal is applied, the BCM-B provides voltage to the high mounted stoplamp and the LH/RH rear stoplamps.

DTC FAULT TRIGGER CONDITIONS
