- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector of the stop lamp switch.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the stop lamp switch voltage circuit terminal B and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the stop lamp switch voltage circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the RUN/CRANK Relay.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connectors of the BCM X5, ECM X1, TCM (if equipped), Power Take Off (PTO) module (if equipped) and Trailer Brake controller (if equipped).
- Ignition OFF, verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between the stop lamp switch harness terminal A and B+.
- If the test lamp illuminates, test the brake switch signal circuit for a short to ground.
- Test for less than 1.0 ohm resistance between the stop lamp switch harness terminal A and one of the following:
- ECM connector X1 terminal 83 for the 6.6L engine.
- ECM connector X1 terminal 55 for the 4.3L engine.
- ECM connector X1 terminal 9 for the 4.8L, 5.3L, 6.0L, 6.2L or 7.0L engines.
- If resistance is not as specified, test the stop lamp switch circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between the stop lamp switch TCC brake signal circuit terminal A and ground.
- If the test lamp illuminates, test the brake switch signal circuit for a short to voltage.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the stop lamp switch. If the component and all circuit tests are normal, replace the ECM.
