Parking Brake Warning Switch: Testing and Inspection

Parking Brake Switch Test





1. Remove the center console and disconnect the connector (A) from the parking brake switch (B).
2. Check for continuity between the positive terminal (C) and body ground:
^ With the brake lever up, there should be continuity.
^ With the brake lever down, there should be no continuity.

NOTE (Canada): If the parking brake switch is OK, but the brake system indicator does not work, do the input test for the daytime running lights control unit.
