  3. Check for continuity between the switch terminal (C) and body ground.
    • With the parking brake lever pulled, there should be continuity.
    • With the parking brake lever released, there should be no continuity.
      NOTE: If the parking brake switch and the brake fluid level switch are OK, but the brake system indicator does not function, do the gauge control module self-diagnostic function (see SELF-DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION ).
  4. Reconnect the parking brake switch connector.
  5. Install the center console (see CENTER CONSOLE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).
