Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Lexus SC 430. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. READ VALUE OF INTELLIGENT TESTER (STOP LIGHT SWITCH) 
    1. Check the DATA LIST for proper functioning of the stop light switch.

      Driver side junction block ECU 

      DATA LIST - DRIVER SIDE JUNCTION BLOCK ECU

      Item Measurement Item / Display (Range) Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      STOP LIGHT SW Stop light switch / ON or OFF ON: Brake pedal depressed
      OFF: Brake pedal released
      -

      OK: ON (brake pedal is depressed) appears on the screen. 

    OK: PROCEED TO NEXT CIRCUIT INSPECTION SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE 

    NG: Go to Next step 

  2. INSPECT STOP LIGHT SWITCH ASSEMBLY
