  • Is there any malfunction?
Yes Repair or replace the connector and/or terminals, then go to Step 12.
No Go to the next step.
5 INSPECT BRAKE SWITCH No. 1 POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND OR OPEN CIRCUIT
  • Verify that the brake switch connector is disconnected.
  • Measure the voltage at the brake switch terminal A (wiring harness-side).

No Inspect the MAIN 200 A fuse and STOP 10 A fuse.
  • If the fuse is blown:
    • Refer to appropriate wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between MAIN 200 A fuse and brake switch terminal A.

If there is a common connector:
  • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to ground.
    • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

If there is no common connector:
  • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short to ground.
    • Replace the malfunctioning fuse.
    • If the fuse is damaged:
      • Replace the malfunctioning fuse.
  • If all fuses are normal:
    • Refer to appropriate wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between battery positive terminal and brake switch terminal A.

If there is a common connector:
  • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for an open circuit.
    • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

If there is no common connector:
  • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has an open circuit.

Go to Step 12.
6 INSPECT BRAKE SWITCH No. 2 GROUND CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
  • Verify that the brake switch connector is disconnected.
  • Inspect for continuity between brake switch terminal B (wiring harness-side) and body ground.
  • Is there continuity?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Refer to appropriate wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between brake switch terminal B and body ground.
If there is a common connector:
  • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for an open circuit.
  • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

If there is no common connector:
  • Inspect for the following:
    • Open circuit between brake switch and body ground
    • Loose or lifting ground point
      • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

Go to Step 12.
7 INSPECT BRAKE SWITCH CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND
  • Verify that the brake switch connector is disconnected.
  • Inspect for continuity between the following terminals (wiring harness-side) and body ground:
    • Brake switch terminal D
      • Brake switch terminal C
  • Is there continuity?
Yes Disconnect the PCM connector and inspect the wiring harness for short to ground.
  • If the short to ground circuit could be detected in the wiring harness:
    • Refer to appropriate wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between the following terminals:
  • Brake switch terminal D-PCM terminal 2G
    • Brake switch terminal C-PCM terminal 2R

If there is a common connector:
  • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to ground.
    • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

If there is no common connector:
  • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short to ground.
  • If the short to ground circuit could not be detected in the wiring harness:

Go to Step 12.
No Go to the next step.
8 INSPECT PCM CONNECTOR CONDITION
  • Disconnect the PCM connector.
  • Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion).
  • Is there any malfunction?
Yes Repair or replace the connector and/or terminals, then go to Step 12.
No Go to the next step.
9 INSPECT BRAKE SWITCH CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO POWER SUPPLY
  • Verify that the brake switch and PCM connectors are disconnected.
  • Switch the ignition ON (engine off).
    NOTE:
    • Another DTC may be stored by the PCM detecting an open circuit.
  • Measure the voltage at the following terminals (wiring harness-side):
    • Brake switch terminal D
      • Brake switch terminal C
  • Is the voltage 0 V?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Refer to appropriate wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between the following terminals:
  • Brake switch terminal D-PCM terminal 2G
  • Brake switch terminal C-PCM terminal 2R

If there is a common connector:
  • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to power supply.
  • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

If there is no common connector:
  • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short to power supply.

Go to Step 12.
10 INSPECT BRAKE SWITCH CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
  • Verify that the brake switch and PCM connectors are disconnected.
  • Switch the ignition off.
  • Inspect for continuity between the following terminals (wiring harness-side):
    • Brake switch terminal D-PCM terminal 2G
      • Brake switch terminal C-PCM terminal 2R
  • Is there continuity?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Refer to appropriate wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between the following terminals:
  • Brake switch terminal D-PCM terminal 2G

  • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

If there is no common connector:
  • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has an open circuit.

Go to Step 12.
