PARK BRAKE SWITCH TEST

STEP

DETAILS

Remove rubber floor mat.

Pry out plastic retaining pins.

Remove upper guard plate.

Lifts off.

Test Switch.

Note: Wires should be attached to two
upper terminals of switch.

Note: check switch lever to make sure park
brake mechanism is pushing and releasing
switch lever.

With both wires still plugged to switch and key
to an “on” position, check instrument cluster to
make sure selected mode and on lights are
illuminated (block wheels or raise rear wheels
off ground to prevent accidental runaway of
vehicle). Touch the voltmeter leads to the
spade terminals just in front of the wire
connectors (polarity not important). Be careful
to touch only the spade terminals with the
voltmeter leads. See Figure 5-14.

Pedal up – should be 0 volts.
Pedal set in park position – should be
approximately 6 volts (polarity not important).

If both voltages are correct, then the switch and
wiring from controller are good.

If both voltages are approximately 6 volts, then
the switch is bad (open).

If both voltages are zero, then unplug the wires
and check voltage at wires.

If voltage of approximately 6 volts is present,
then switch is bad (shorted).

If no voltage on wires, check continuity of wires
to controller (should be less than 1 ohm).

Red wire to pin 19 of large twist lock connector.
Green wire to pin 38 of large twist lock
connector.

If either wire does not have continuity to
controller, repair wire or replace harness as
needed and retest.

Note: There is a connector on inside of right
frame rail to right of brake pedal in this
circuit. If no continuity, check connector.

If both wires have continuity to controller, then
the controller is faulty.
