Inspection Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- READ VALUE USING DATA LIST
HINT:
Using Techstream to read the Data List allows the values or states of switches, sensors, actuators and other items to be read without removing any parts. This non-intrusive inspection can be very useful because intermittent conditions or signals may be discovered before parts or wiring is disturbed. Reading the Data List information early in troubleshooting is one way to save diagnostic time.
- Warm up the engine.
- Turn the ignition switch off.
- Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch to the on position.
- Turn on the tester.
- Select the item "Powertrain/Engine and ECT/Data List".
- According to the display on the tester, read the "Data List".

A: Go to next step
- INSPECT STOP LIGHT SWITCH ASSEMBLY
- Remove the stop light switch assembly.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance
RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONTester Connection Switch position Specified Condition 1 - 2 Switch pin free Below 1 Ω Switch pin pushed In 10 kΩ or higher 3 - 4 Switch pin free 10 kΩ or higher Switch pin pushed in Below 1 Ω NG: REPLACE STOP LIGHT SWITCH ASSEMBLY (See STOP LIGHT SWITCH )
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (STOP LIGHT SWITCH ASSEMBLY - ECM)
- Install the stop light switch assembly.
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below when the brake pedal is depressed and released.
Standard voltage
