Testing Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1999 Buick Regal and 1999 Buick Century. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Perform DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK . After performing diagnostic system check, go to next step.
- Press brake pedal. If brake lights illuminate, go to next step. If brake lights do not illuminate, repair exterior lights system.
- Inspect both EBCM/EBTCM and harness connector for terminal damage, poor terminal contact and terminal corrosion. Repair as necessary.
- Turn ignition switch off. Disconnect stoplight switch connector C1. Connect pinout box and adapter cable to EBCM/EBTCM harness connector only. Using DVOM, measure resistance between pinout box terminal C7 and C1 terminal "B". If resistance measures 0-2 ohms, go to next step. If resistance does not measure 0-2 ohms, go to step 6 .
- Repair open or high resistance in circuit No. 17 between stoplight switch and EBCM/EBTCM.
- Replace EBCM/EBTCM.
