Brake Switch Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CAUTION:

Inspect the brake switch with it installed to the brake pedal, otherwise the brake switch may not operate normally. If the brake switch is removed from the brake pedal, replace the brake switch with a new one.

Disconnect the brake switch connector. (See BRAKE PEDAL REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
Verify that the continuity is as indicated in the table.
