STEP 6. Check the harness for open circuit or short circuit
to ground between stoplight switch connector D-123
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 D-123 by backprobing.
(1) Remove the stoplight switch from the mounting bracket.
(2) Do not disconnect connector D-123.

(3) Measure the voltage between stoplight switch connector

D-123 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-119

.

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
PCM connector D-133 by backprobing.
(1) Install the stoplight switch into the mounting bracket if it was

removed.

(2) Do not disconnect connector D-133.

(3) Measure the voltage between terminal 39 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.

STEP 10. Check joint connector D-29, D-116, intermediate
connector D-125, E-111 and PCM connector D-133 for
loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals
pushed back in the connector.
