Parking Brake Switch
The parking brake switch is located within the parking brake
lever. Follow the parking brake lever under the dash to locate
the internally mounted switch.
The switch remains in the “open” position when the park brake
lever is not applied.
When the parking brake lever is applied, the switch makes
contact and sends voltage to the ECU and Speedometer to
illuminate the “Park Brake Indicator” near the top-center of the
instrument cluster.
NOTE: If the parking brake is applied the ECU will
rev limit the engine at 1300 RPM until the parking
brake is released. This feature has been added to
prevent drive-away with the parking brake applied.
If trying to perform an engine diagnostic running test
with the parking brake applied, disconnect the
switch harness connector to allow the engine to rev
higher than 1300 RPMs.
Testing The Parking Brake Switch
1. Disconnect the harness connector at the parking brake
switch (Orange/Red and Red/White wires).
2. Place the ohmmeter leads onto terminal leads A and C. The
reading should be infinite (•).
3. Apply the parking brake. Continuity should now exist
between the switch terminals A and C. If no continuity
exists when the parking brake is applied, try to clean the
switch terminals and re-test. Replace switch if necessary.
