Lamp Out Sensor: Testing and Inspection
Brake Light Failure Sensor Test
1. Check to see if the brake lights come on when the brake pedal is depressed.
-
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 remove each side of the trunk side trim panel.
3. Turn the ignition switch ON (II). Measure voltage between terminal No. 5 of the 6P connectors and body ground.
-
If there is battery voltage, go to step 4.
-
If there is no battery voltage, check for an open in the YEL wire.
4. Make sure the BRAKE LAMP light in the safety indicator does not come on and stay on when the 6P connectors are disconnected and the engine
is running. If the light does not come on and stay on, go to step 5. If the BRAKE LAMP light in the safety indicator comes on and stays on, check
for:
-
A short to ground in the WHT/GRN wire between the safety indicator and the No. 4 terminal of the failure sensors.
-
A faulty safety indicator circuit in the gauge assembly.
