Parking Brake Warning Switch: Testing and Inspection

Test
1. Remove the center console.





2. Disconnect the connector from the parking brake switch (A).
3. Check for continuity between the switch terminal (B) and body ground.
^ With the parking brake lever pulled, there should be continuity.
^ With the parking brake lever released, there should be no continuity.

NOTE: If both the ABS indicator and the brake system indicator come on at the same time, troubleshoot the ABS.

^ If the parking brake switch and brake fluid level switch are OK, but the brake system indicator does not work, check the ABS.
