Control Circuit Inspection
- Open Check
- Ignition "OFF"
- Disconnect Brake Lamp Relay (DBC relay) and HECU connector.
- Measure resistance between control terminal of brake lamp relay (DBC relay) harness connector and brake lamp control terminal of HECU harness connector.
Specification: Approx. below 1Ω
- Is the measured value within specifications?
YES
- Go to " 2Short Check" procedure.
NO
- Repair open in control circuit between the brake lamp relay and HECU and then, Go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
- Short Check
- Ignition "OFF"
- Disconnect Brake Lamp Relay (DBC relay) and HECU connector.
- Measure resistance between control terminal of brake lamp relay (DBC relay) harness connector and chassis ground.
Specification: Infinite (∞ Ω)
- Is the measured value within specifications?
YES
- Substitute with a known-good Brake Lamp Relay (DBC relay) and check for proper operation.
If problem is corrected, replace Brake Lamp Relay (DBC relay) and then go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
NO
- Repair short in control circuit between Brake Lamp Relay (DBC relay) and HECU, and then go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
- Substitute with a known-good Brake Lamp Relay (DBC relay) and check for proper operation.
