Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Cadillac CTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition ON, verify that the Stoplamp Pedal Switch parameter in the ECM reads Applied while depressing the brake pedal.
- If the parameter reads Released, test the brake applied signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition ON, release the brake pedal, verify that the Stoplamp Pedal Switch parameter reads Released.
- If the parameter reads Applied, test the brake applied signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the ECM.
