    OK: Go to Next Step 

  5. RECONFIRM DTC 
    1. Clear the DTC (See DTC CHECK / CLEAR  ).
    2. Turn the ignition switch on.
    3. Depress the brake pedal several times to test the stop light circuit.
    4. Check that the same DTC is recorded (See DTC CHECK / CLEAR  ).

      HINT:

      Reinstall the sensors, connectors, etc. and store the previous vehicle conditions before rechecking for DTCs.
