• Ignition off
• Check the connectors for the brake control module (BCM), the stop lamp switch and the pedal position sensor. Check for contact resistance. Check for oxidation
• Reinstall the components, connectors, etc.
• Ignition on
• Read off the status of the stop lamp switch and the position of the pedal position sensor.

  Depress and release the brake pedal. The value must change between OFF and ON and the position of the pedal position sensor must be updated.
