    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (STP2 CIRCUIT) 

    OK: Go to Next Step 

  5. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST BY INTELLIGENT TESTER (STOP LIGHT CONTROL RELAY) 
    1. Reconnect the skid control ECU connector.
    2. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
    3. Start the engine.
    4. Select the Active Test mode on the intelligent tester.

      ABS/VSC: 

      ABS/VSC ACTIVE TEST LIST

      Tester Display Test Part Control Range Diagnostic Note
      STOP LAMP RELAY Stop light control relay Relay ON / OFF Stop light comes on (Does not come on for 5 seconds or more)
    5. Check that the "ON" and "OFF" of the stop light can be shown on the rear combination light by the intelligent tester.

      OK: 

      The stop light turns on or off in accordance with the intelligent tester. 

    OK: Go to step  9

    NG: Go to Next Step 

  6. INSPECT STOP LIGHT CONTROL RELAY 
    1. Turn the engine switch off.
    2. Remove the stop light control relay.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance 

      RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      3 - 4 Always Below 1 Ω
      3 - 5 Always 10 kΩ or higher
      3 - 4 When battery positive voltage is applied to terminal 1 and battery negative voltage to terminal 2 10 kΩ or higher
      3 - 5 When battery positive voltage is applied to terminal 1 and battery negative voltage to terminal 2 Below 1 Ω
