BRAKE LAMP WARNING CIRCUIT DIAGNOSIS
Test Description
The number(s) below refer to step(s) on the diagnostic
table.
1. When the ignition is turned ON, the brake warning
lamp should initially illuminate and then dim for ABS
equipped vehicles. This is done as a bulb check.
On vehicles that are not equipped with ABS, the
brake warning lamp should only illuminate when
either the brake fluid reservoir is low or the parking
brake is applied.
7. The brake fluid level switch is a normally open
switch. If the brake warning lamp is off after discon-
necting the switch, the brake fluid level switch is
stuck closed.
9. If the brake warning lamp is still on after discon-
necting the parking brake switch, there is a short to
ground in the wire to the parking brake switch.
12. If the other checks have been properly performed
and the brake warning lamp is off after disconnect-
ing the electronic brake control module (EBCM) J1
connector, the EBCM is faulty.
19. If the brake warning lamp does not operate while
performing any of the functions, the fault should be
in the ignition feed to the circuit.
24. This step determines if the problem is in the ignition
feed to the circuit or in the instrument cluster.
30. The brake warning lamp should illuminate when
jumpering the parking brake connector to ground.
32. If the brake warning lamp is on after jumpering the
brake fluid level switch terminals, the switch is
faulty.
