Preliminary Inspection
- Check fuses, and replace as necessary. Visually inspect for broken or open wires. Check for a broken or partially broken wire inside insulation which could cause system malfunction but prove good in a continuity/voltage check with system disconnected.
- Check for DTCs. If any DTCs exist, see DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONΒ table or appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE.
- Ensure brakelight and cruise brake switches are installed and adjusted properly. See BRAKELIGHT & CRUISE BRAKE SWITCHESΒ under ADJUSTMENTS. Ensure center high mounted brakelight is operating.
- Ensure any aftermarket electronic equipment is properly installed. Repair as necessary. If no problem is found, perform self-diagnostics. See SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEMΒ .
