Brake Light Switch Test

1. If the brake lights do not go on, check the No. 42 (20 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box, and the brake light bulbs in the taillight assembly and high mount brake light.

2. If the fuse and bulbs are OK, disconnect the 2-P or 4-P connector from the brake light switch.

3. Check for continuity between the B and C terminals.
There should be continuity with the brake pedal pushed.
•   If there is no continuity, replace the switch or adjust pedal height (see Section 19).

•   If there is continuity, but the brake lights do not go on, inspect for:
- Poor ground, hatchback: G553, G771, sedan: G554.
- An open in the WHT/GRN or GRN/WHT wire.
