Test O - Brake On/Off (Boo)

  1. Code 74 Displayed. If brake was NOT pressed during Engine Running Self-Test, repeat test and press brake pedal once during test. If pedal was pressed, go to next step.
  2. Turn key OFF and wait 10 seconds. Disconnect 60-pin ECA connector. Inspect for and repair any damaged wiring. Install breakout box, leaving ECA disconnected. Set DVOM to 20 volt scale. Measure voltage between test pin 2 and test pin 40 while applying and releasing brake. If voltage cycles, replace ECA and repeat step. If voltage does not cycle, go to next step.
  3. Turn key OFF. Leave breakout box installed with ECA disconnected. Set DVOM to 200 ohm scale. Disconnect BOO circuit from 14290 (12-pin connector). Measure resistance between test pin 2 and ground. If reading is higher than 5 ohms, repair BOO circuit short to ground. If reading is not higher than 5 ohms, check brake light circuit.
  4. Code 75 Displayed. Turn key OFF and wait 10 seconds. Disconnect 60-pin ECA connector. Inspect for and repair any damaged wiring. Install breakout box, leaving ECA disconnected. Set DVOM to 20 volt scale. Measure voltage between test pin 2 and test pin 40 while applying and releasing brake. If voltage cycles, replace ECA and repeat step. If voltage does not cycle, go to next step.
  5. Turn key OFF. With breakout box installed and ECA disconnected, set DVOM to 200 ohm scale. Disconnect BOO circuit from 14290 harness (12-pin connector). Measure resistance between test pin 2 and ground. If reading is greater than 5 ohms, repair BOO circuit short to ground. If reading is less than 5 ohms, check brake light circuit.
