Component Location





General Description

This brake light switch is mounted on the brake-pedal assembly and is used to indicate the status of brake pedal to the HECU. This switch is the normal-open type and is closed when the brake-pedal is pressed. And when the brake-pedal is released, the switch is opened. The HECU uses this as the basic signal to recognize a driver's intention for braking.

DTC Description

The HECU monitors the brake light switch circuit for a normal operation and if it has a open or short circuit, this DTC is set.
