Stop Lamp Switch Circuit Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 GMC Sierra, 2009 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2009 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2009 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the stop lamp switch.
  2. Ignition ON, test for B+ between the 12-volt reference circuit terminal C and ground.
    • If less than the specified range, test the 12-volt reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  3. Verify the scan tool BCM Stop Lamp Switch Status parameter is approximately 1023 counts.
    • If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal D for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  4. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal D and the 12-volt reference circuit terminal C. Verify the scan tool Stop Lamp Switch Status parameter is 1 count.
    • If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the stop lamp switch.
