STEP 4. Measure the stoplight switch power supply
voltage at connector C-03 by backprobing.
(1) Remove the stoplight switch from the mounting bracket.
(2) Do not disconnect connector C-03.

(3) Measure the voltage between terminal 2 and ground by

backprobing.

• The voltage should measure battery positive voltage.

Q: Is the measured voltage battery positive voltage?

YES : Go to Step 7.
NO : Go to step 5.

STEP 5. Check stoplight switch connector C-03 for loose,
corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back
in the connector.
Q: Are the connector and terminals in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 6.
NO : Repair or replace the damaged components. Refer to

GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection

P.00E-2

.

STEP 6. Check the harness for damage between stoplight
switch connector C-03 terminal 2 and the power supply
fuse.
Q: Is the harness wire in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 7.
NO : Repair or replace the harness wire.

STEP 7. Measure the stoplight switch output voltage to the
PCM at connector C-03 by backprobing.
(1) Remove the stoplight switch from the mounting bracket.
(2) Do not disconnect connector C-03.

(3) Measure the voltage between terminal 1 and ground by

backprobing.

• When the switch button is out (closed circuit), voltage

should equal battery positive voltage.

• When the switch button is depressed (open circuit), volt-

age should measure less than 1.0 volt.

Q: Is the measured voltage battery positive voltage with

the switch button released (closed circuit), and less
than 1.0 volt with the switch button depressed (open
circuit)?
YES : Go to Step 9.
NO : Go to Step 8.

STEP 8. Check the stoplight switch.
Refer to GROUP 35A, On-vehicle Service

− Stoplight Switch

Check

P.35A-18

.

Q: Does the stoplight switch pass the checks?

YES : Go to Step 9.
NO : Replace the stoplight switch. Refer to GROUP 35A,

Brake Pedal

STEP 9. Measure the stoplight switch output voltage at the
PCM connector C-61 <2.4L Engine> or C-63 <3.0L Engine>
by backprobing.
(1) Install the stoplight switch into the mounting bracket if it was

removed.

(2) Do not disconnect connector C-61 <2.4L Engine> or C-63

<3.0L Engine>.

(3) Measure the voltage between terminal 123 and ground by

backprobing.

• When the brake pedal is depressed, voltage should

measure battery positive voltage.

• When the brake pedal is not depressed, voltage should

measure less than 1.0 volt.

Q: Is the measured voltage battery positive voltage with

the brake pedal depressed (closed circuit), and less
than 1.0 volt with the brake pedal released (open
circuit)?
YES : Go to Step 12.
NO : Go to Step 10.

for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals
pushed back in the connector.
Q: Are the connectors and terminals in good condition?
