Always turn ignition off prior to disconnecting any module connector.
- Disconnect parking brake switch connector. Connector is located above brake pedal bracket. Connect jumper wire between ground and parking brake switch connector (Gray/Black wire). If BRAKE warning lamp illuminates, replace parking brake switch. If BRAKE warning lamp does not illuminate, go to next step.
- Leave jumper wire connected. Turn ignition off. Disconnect instrument cluster Gray connector. Using scan tool in ohmmeter mode, measure resistance at terminal No. 6 (Gray/Black wire) on instrument cluster Gray connector. If resistance is 5 ohms or greater, repair open Gray/Black wire. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step.
- Remove and inspect BRAKE warning lamp. Replace lamp if necessary. If lamp is okay, repair or replace instrument cluster. See appropriate INSTRUMENT PANEL article in the ACCESSORIES & ELECTRICAL section.
