Wiring diagram

Inspection procedure
- Inspect fuse (stop)
- Remove the stop fuse from the instrument panel
junction block.
- Measure the resistance of the fuse.
Standard resistance:
below 1
- Inspect stop light (rear combination light)

- Remove the rear combination light.
- Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
4 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 1, then check that
the light comes on.
Ok:
light comes on.

- Inspect rear stop light (high mount stop light)

- Remove the high mount stop light assembly.
- Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
2 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 1, then check that
the light comes on.
Ok:
light comes on


- Inspect brk relay

- Remove the brk relay from the engine room no. 1 Relay
block.
- Measure the resistance of the relay.
Standard resistance


- Inspect stop light switch

- Remove the stop light switch.
- Measure the resistance of the switch.
Standard resistance


- Check wire harness (stop light switch - battery)

- Disconnect the a3 stop light switch connector.
- Measure the voltage of the wire harness side connector.
