Stop Lamps Circuit Test
2008 Chevrolet Chevy Express G2500, Van Cargo Extended, 6.0 KSECTION Stop Lamps Circuit Test
- Ignition ON, with a test lamp connected to ground, probe each of the test points on the Stop Lamp fuse while pressing and releasing the brake pedal. The test lamp should illuminate at one or both of the fuse test points.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate or remains illuminated at either test point, refer to Stop Lamps PCB Relay TestΒ .
- Ignition OFF, disconnect harness connector at the inoperative stop/turn lamp assembly.
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 5.0 ohms of resistance between the ground circuit terminal G and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Connect a test lamp between the supply voltage circuit terminal A and ground.
- Ignition ON, command the appropriate LR or RR Turn Signal ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
- If the test lamp is always ON, test the supply voltage circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the supply voltage circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
