Brake Lamp: Description and Operation

STOP LAMPS AND CENTER HIGH MOUNTED STOP LAMP

MECHANICAL SYSTEM OPERATION
Each of the tail lamps also contains a double filament stop lamp bulb. The stop lamp filament lights under the following conditions:
- The stop lamp switch is closed.
- The parking lamps are activated.
- The headlamps are activated.

The high mount stop lamp assembly fitted to the inside of the vehicle and to the rear spoiler uses a strip of light emitting diodes (LEDs) for illumination. The stop lamp is designed to operate in conjunction with the tail lamps whenever the brake pedal is depressed.

CIRCUIT OPERATION
Voltage is applied continuously from the STOP LAMPS fuse to the stop lamp switch. When the brake pedal is depressed voltage flows to the center high mounted stop lamp (CHMSL) and left and right stop lamps.

S307 applies voltage to the following lamps:
- The left and right stop lamps
- The CHMSL
