P.54A-321

STEP 2. Check the bulb of the stop lamps
Check the bulb of the defective lamps.

Q: Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 3.

NO :

Replace the bulb of the defective lamps.

STEP 3. Resistance measurement at the stop
lamp connectors (earth terminals).
(1) Disconnect the connector, and measure at the

wiring harness side.

(2) Measure the resistance between the rear

combination lamp (LH) connector (earth terminal)
and body earth.

OK: Continuity exists (2

Ω or less)

(3) Measure the resistance between the rear

combination lamp (RH) connector (earth
terminal) and body earth.

OK: Continuity exists (2

Ω or less)

(4) Measure the resistance between the

high-mounted stop lamp connector (earth

terminal) and body earth.

OK: Continuity exists (2

Ω or less)

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

The trouble can be an intermittent

malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00

− How to

use Troubleshooting/inspection Service
Points

− How to Cope with Intermittent

Malfunction ).

NO :

Go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Check of open circuit in earth line
between the rear combination lamp (LH)
connector, rear combination lamp (RH)
connector, high-mounted stop lamp connector
and body earth.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 5.

NO :

Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness.

STEP 5. Voltage measurement at stop lamp
connectors (power supply terminals).
(1) Remove the front fog lamp relay, and measure at

the relay box side.

(2) Check the voltage between the rear combination

lamp (LH) connector (power supply terminal) and
body earth.

OK: System voltage

(3) Check the voltage between the rear combination

lamp (RH) connector (power supply terminal) and
body earth.

OK: System voltage

(4) Check the voltage between the high-mounted

stop lamp connector (power supply terminal) and
body earth.

OK: System voltage

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 7.

NO :

Go to Step 6.

STEP 6. Check of short to power supply, short to
earth, and open circuit in STLO line between
ETACS-ECU connector and rear combination
lamp (LH) connector, rear combination lamp (RH)
connector, high-mounted stop lamp connector.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 7.

NO :

Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness.
