5. STEP 5. Check the stoplight. 

   Q: Does the stoplight turn on and off normally? 

   • YES :  Go to  Step 9.
   • NO :  Go to Step 6.
6. STEP 6. Check the stoplight switch installation condition. 

   Q: Is the stoplight switch installed correctly? 

   • YES :  Check the stoplight switch (Refer to BRAKE PEDAL ). Then go to Step 7.
   • NO :  Repair the installation of the stoplight switch (Refer to BRAKE PEDAL CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT ). Then go to  Step 13.
7. STEP 7. Check the following connectors. 
   • Intermediate connectors C-129
   • Stoplight switch connector C-102

   Check the connectors for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.

   Q: Are the connectors and terminals in good condition? 

   • YES :  Go to Step 8.
   • NO :  Repair it and then go to  Step 13.

8. STEP 8. Check the following harness wires. 
   • The wire between relay box in engine compartment (fuse No. 10) and stoplight switch connector C-102 (terminal 2)
   • The wire between stoplight switch connector C-102 (terminal 1) and stoplights

   Q: Is any harness wire damaged? 

   • YES :  Repair or replace it and then go to  Step 13.
   • NO :  Go to Step 9.

9. STEP 9. Check the stoplight switch circuit. Measure the voltage at ABS-ECU connector B-118. 
   1. Disconnect ABS-ECU connector B-118 and measure at the harness side.
   2. Depress the brake pedal to turn on the stoplight switch.
   3. Measure the voltage between terminal 19 and ground. It should measure battery voltage (approximately 12 volts).

   Q: Is battery positive voltage (approximately 12 volts) present? 

   • YES :  Go to  Step 12.
   • NO :  Go to Step 10.
