Check if the stoplight illuminates.
Q: Is the stoplight illuminated?
1. YES: Go to step 8 .
2. NO: Go to Step 2.
Measure the 12-Volt supply circuit voltage at stoplight switch connector C-03.
1. Disconnect stoplight switch connector C-03.

Q: Is the measured voltage battery positive voltage?
1. YES: Go to step 5 .
2. NO: Go to Step 3.
Check stoplight switch connector C-03 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.

Q: Is the harness wire in good condition?
1. YES: It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent. (Refer to HOW TO USE TROUBLESHOOTING/INSPECTION SERVICE POINTS - HOW TO COPE WITH INTERMITTENT MALFUNCTION ). Go to step 11 .
2. NO: Repair the damaged harness wire. Go to step 11 .
Check the stoplight switch.
1. Disconnect harness connector C-03 at the stoplight switch.

2. Connect an ohmmeter to the stoplight switch, and check continuity when the plunger of the stoplight switch is pushed in and when it is released.
3. The stoplight switch is in good condition if the circuit is open when the plunger is pushed in to a depth of within 4 mm (0.2 inch) from the outer case edge surface, and if the resistance value is less than 2 ohms when it is released.

4. The check for continuity should be made at terminals 1 and 2 of the stoplight switch.
Q: Is the stoplight switch in good condition?
1. YES: Go to Step 6.
2. NO: Replace the stoplight switch. (Refer to BRAKE PEDAL ). Go to step 11 .
Check stoplight switch connector C-03 and intermediate connector C-209 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.
