DTC C0023-14; Brake Light Circuit Malfunction: Notes

DETECTION CONDITION AND POSSIBLE CAUSES

Description Brake light circuit malfunction
Detection condition
  • Rear body control module (RBCM) detects any of the following conditions:
    • Brake lights/high-mount brake light illuminated even though driver or system does not illuminate brake lights/high-mount brake lights.
    • Brake lights/high-mount brake light not illuminated even though driver depresses brake pedal.
      • Brake lights/high-mount brake light not illuminated even though system illuminates brake lights/high-mount brake light.
Fail-safe function Not applicable
Possible cause
