Possible Causes
 
WIRING HARNESS, TERMINAL, CONNECTOR DAMAGE
 
MISADJUSTED PEDAL SWITCH
 
(B15) SECONDARY BRAKE SWITCH SIGNAL CIRCUIT (DIESEL) OR (B15) BRAKE SWITCH NO. 1 SIGNAL CIRCUIT (GAS) SHORTED TO GROUND
 
(B15) SECONDARY BRAKE SWITCH SIGNAL CIRCUIT (DIESEL) OR (B15) BRAKE SWITCH NO. 1 SIGNAL CIRCUIT (GAS) OPEN
 
STOP LAMP SWITCH
 
ANTI-LOCK BRAKES MODULE
 




Diagnostic Test

1. VERIFY DTC IS ACTIVE

NOTE: Diagnose and repair all Pressure Sensor and Voltage related DTCs and all Stop Lamp related DTCs and symptoms before diagnosing this DTC.


Turn the ignition on.
With the scan tool, read ABS DTCs.
With the scan tool, read and record Environmental Data (EV Data).
With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
Cycle the ignition switch.

WARNING: Ensure brake capability is available before road testing.


Test drive the vehicle as follows: Drive for more than 6 minutes at a speed greater than 40 km/h (25 mph) and accelerate to a speed greater than 40 km/h (25 mph) and then decelerate to a speed lower than 3 km/h (2 mph) five consecutive times.
Park the vehicle.
With the scan tool, read ABS DTCs.

Does this DTC reset?

Yes


No

2. INSPECT RELATED WIRING HARNESS, TERMINALS, & CONNECTORS

Turn the ignition off.
Visually inspect the related wiring harness. Look for any pinched, chafed, pierced, and partially broken wires.
Visually inspect the related wiring harness connectors. Look for broken, bent, pushed out, and corroded terminals.

Were any problems found?

Yes


No

3. CHECK (B15) SECONDARY BRAKE SWITCH SIGNAL CIRCUIT (DIESEL) OR (B15) BRAKE SWITCH NO. 1 SIGNAL CIRCUIT (GAS) FUNCTION WHILE DEPRESSING & RELEASING THE BRAKE PEDAL



Disconnect the Anti-Lock Brakes Module harness connector.
Turn the ignition on.
Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12 volts, backprobe the (B15) Secondary Brake Switch Signal circuit (Diesel) or the (B15) Brake Switch No. 1 Signal circuit (Gas) in the Anti-Lock Brakes Module harness connector.
Depress and release the brake pedal.

Does the test light illumination toggle from off to on?

Yes


No

4. CHECK (B15) SECONDARY BRAKE SWITCH SIGNAL CIRCUIT (DIESEL) OR (B15) BRAKE SWITCH NO. 1 SIGNAL CIRCUIT (GAS) FOR A SHORT TO GROUND



Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the Stop Lamp Switch harness connector.
Measure the resistance of the (B15) Secondary Brake Switch Signal circuit (Diesel) or the (B15) Brake Switch No. 1 Signal circuit (Gas) between ground and the Anti-Lock Brakes Module harness connector.

Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

Yes


No

5. CHECK (B15) SECONDARY BRAKE SWITCH SIGNAL CIRCUIT (DIESEL) OR (B15) BRAKE SWITCH NO. 1 SIGNAL CIRCUIT (GAS) FOR AN OPEN



Measure the resistance of the (B15) Secondary Brake Switch Signal circuit (Diesel) or the (B15) Brake Switch No. 1 Signal circuit (Gas) between the Anti-Lock Brakes Module harness connector and the Stop Lamp Switch harness connector.

Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

Yes


No

6. CHECK (B15) SECONDARY BRAKE SWITCH SIGNAL CIRCUIT (DIESEL) OR (B15) BRAKE SWITCH NO. 1 SIGNAL CIRCUIT (GAS) FOR A OPEN GROUND
Measure the resistance on the (Z904) Ground circuit and ground in the Stop Lamp Switch harness connector.

Is the resistance below 5 ohms?

Yes


No

7. CHECK BRAKE PEDAL ADJUSTMENT

Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12 volts, backprobe the (B15) Secondary Brake Switch Signal circuit (Diesel) or the (B15) Brake Switch No. 1 Signal circuit (Gas) in the Stop Lamp Switch harness connector.
Depress and release the brake pedal.

Does the test light illumination toggle from off to on within 4–5 mm of brake pedal travel?

Yes


No
