Driver/Vehicle Information Display: Testing and Inspection



1. First make sure the brake lights come on when the brake pedal is pressed.
- If none of the brake lights come on, check the brake light circuit.
- If one of the brake lights does not come on, check whether the bulb is blown. If the bulb is OK, go to step 2.
- If all the brake lights come on, go to step 2.
2. Open the trunk lid and the maintenance lid of the left taillight. Make sure the BRAKE LAMP of the safety indicator does not come on when the WHT/GRN terminal of the 6-P connector is grounded and the ignition switch is turned OFF to ON.
- If the BRAKE LAMP comes on, check for an open in the WHT/GRN wire between the safety indicator and the left failure sensor and whether the safety indicator circuit (main print panel) has a problem.
- If the BRAKE LAMP does not come on, go to step 3.
3. Make sure the BRAKE LAMP does not come on when the ignition switch is turned OFF to ON with the GRN terminal of the 6-P connector grounded and the brake pedal pressed.






- If the BRAKE LAMP comes on, replace the left failure sensor.
- If the BRAKE LAMP does not come on, go to step 4.
4. Open the maintenance lid of the right taillight. Make sure the BRAKE LAMP does not come on when the ignition switch is turned OFF to ON with the GRN terminal of the 6-P connector grounded and the brake pedal pressed.
- If the BRAKE LAMP comes on, there is an open in the GRN wire between the left failure sensor and the right failure sensor.
- If the BRAKE LAMP does not come on, go to step 5.
5. Make sure the BRAKE LAMP does not come on when the ignition switch is turned OFF to ON with the BLK terminal of the 6-P connector grounded and the brake pedal pressed.






- If the BRAKE LAMP comes on, replace the right failure sensor.
- If the BRAKE LAMP does not come on, check for an open in the BLK wire between the right failure sensor and ground, and check whether the G701 terminal is poor.
