Lamp Out Sensor: Testing and Inspection
Brake Light Failure Sensor Test
1. First make sure the brake lights come on when the brake pedal is pressed.
^ If all the brake lights come on, go to step 2.
^ If one of the brake lights does not come on, check whether the bulb is blown. If the bulb is OK, go to step 2.
^ If none of the brake lights come on, check the brake light circuit.
2. Open the trunk lid and the taillight access panel to the left taillight.
3. Make sure the BRAKE LAMP light in the safety indicator does not come on and stay on, when the No. 1 terminal of the 6-P connector is
grounded and the ignition switch is turned from OFF to ON (II).
^ If the BRAKE LAMP light comes on and stays on, check for an open in the WHT/GRN wire between the safety indicator and the No. 1
terminal of the failure sensor, and whether the safety indicator circuit (printed circuit board) has a problem.
^ If the BRAKE LAMP light does not come on and stay on, go to step 4.
4. Make sure the BRAKE LAMP light does not come on when the ignition switch is turned from OFF to ON (II) with the No. 2 terminal of the 6-P
connector grounded and the brake pedal pressed.
^ If the BRAKE LAMP light comes on and stays on, replace the failure sensor.
^ If the BRAKE LAMP does not stay on, check for an open in the BLK wire between the No. 2 terminal of the failure sensor and ground, and
check for a poor ground at G551.
