2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
3. Set scan tool MB991958 to data reading mode for auto-cruise control
system.
Item 05, Stoplight Switch.
When the brake pedal is depressed, the display on scan tool
MB991958 should be "ON". When the brake pedal is released, the display on scan tool
MB991958 should be "OFF".
4. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
5. Disconnect scan tool MB991958.
Q: Is the switch operating properly?
YES : Go to Step 2.
NO : Go to Step 3 .
STEP 2. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list item 06: Brake Switch.
1. Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector. (Refer to AUTO
-
CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLESHOOTING STRATEGY
).
CAUTION: To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958,
always turn the ignition switch to the

2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
3. Set scan tool MB991958 to data reading mode for auto-cruise control
system.
Item 06, Brake Switch.
When the brake pedal is depressed, the display on scan tool
MB991958 should be "OFF". When the brake pedal is released, the display on scan tool
MB991958 should be "ON".
4. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
5. Disconnect scan tool MB991958.
Q: Is the switch operating properly?
YES : Go to Step 21 .
NO : Go to Step 15 .
STEP 3. Check the stoplight operation.
Check the stoplight operation.
When the brake pedal is depressed, the stoplight will illuminate. When the brake pedal is released, the stoplight does not illuminate.
Q: Is the stoplight will illuminate (when the brake pedal is depressed) and
the stoplight does not illuminate (when the brake pedal is released)?
YES : Go to Step 4.
NO : Go to Step 8 .
STEP 4. Measure the terminal voltage at PCM connector B-18.
1. Disconnect all the connectors from the PCM.

5. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the measured voltage battery positive voltage (approximately 12
volts) when the brake pedal is depressed and 1 volt or less when the brake
pedal is released?
YES : It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent. (Refer to
HOW TO COPE WITH INTERMITTENT MALFUNCTIONS
).
Then go to Step 22 .
NO : Replace the PCM. [Refer to POWERTRAIN CONTROL
MODULE (PCM)
]. Then go to Step 22 .
STEP 8. Measure the power supply voltage at stoplight switch connector
C-03 by backprobing.
1. Do not disconnect stoplight switch connector C-03.

2. Measure the power supply voltage between stoplight switch connector C-
03 terminal 2 and ground by backprobing.
When the brake pedal is depressed, the voltage should measure 1 volt
or less. When the brake pedal is released, the voltage should measure battery
positive voltage (approximately 12 volts).

Q: Is the measured volta
ge 1 volt or less when the brake
pedal is de
pressed
and battery positive voltage (approximately 12 volts) when the brake
pedal is released?
YES : Go to Step 9.
NO : Go to Step 12 .
STEP 9. Check stoplight switch connector C-03 and joint connector (1) C-
04 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in
the connector.

Q: Are the connector and terminals in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 10.
NO : Repair or replace the damaged components. Then go to Step 22 .
STEP 10. Check the harness wire between stoplight switch connector C-03
terminal 1 and joint connector (1) C-04 terminal 11 for damage.

Q: Is the harness wire in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 11.
NO : Repair the damaged harness wire. Then go to Step 22 .
STEP 11. Check the stoplight switch.
1. Remove the stoplight switch. (Refer to BRAKE PEDAL
).
2. Connect an ohmmeter to the stoplight switch between terminals 1 and 2.
