Normal Operation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Mercury Milan, 2009 Lincoln MKZ, and 2009 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
For all vehicles, the stoplamp switch is supplied voltage through circuit SBP04 (GN/RD) from the smart junction box (SJB). When the brake pedal is applied, the stoplamp switch routes voltage to the SJB through circuit CCB08 (VT/WH).
For Fusion, the SJB provides voltage to the rear stoplamp.
For Milan and MKZ, the voltage is routed through the SJB to all the stoplamp through circuit CLS17 (YE/GY).
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Fuse
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Stoplamp switch
- SJB
