Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the affected stop lamp.
- Test for less than 1.0 ohm of resistance between the ground circuit terminal A and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Connect a test lamp between the stop lamp control circuit terminal D and the ground circuit terminal A.
- Ignition ON, press and release the brake pedal. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
- If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the affected stop lamp.
