• Ignition off.

  Apply the brake then release the brake to check whether the brake light works correctly. If the high level brake light is not working, the fault may be caused by overheating. Wait about 10 minutes and check whether the fault was caused by overheating.

  If the brake light works, the diagnostic trouble code may also be caused by a fault in the lighting circuit to the ignition lock. If the ignition lock light does not work correctly, check the wire between central electronic module (CEM) 19D and ignition lock light (16/65) 5 for a short circuit to ground as described in, see SHORT-CIRCUIT TO GROUND, PERMANENT FAULTS .

  Do the necessary corrective action.
