Brake Light Switch: Service and Repair

Stop Light Switch

REMOVAL
1) Disconnect the ground cable from battery.
2) Disconnect the stop light switch connector.
3) Turn the stop light switch counterclockwise and remove the switch.





INSTALLATION
1) Make sure that the switch clip (gray) is securely installed to the brake pedal bracket.





2) While pulling up the brake pedal, insert the stop light switch until it reaches the stopper (brown) at the brake pedal side. Turn the stop light switch clockwise and install the switch.








3) Pull up the brake pedal and make sure that play is 0.5 - 2 mm (0.020 - 0.079 in).
4) Connect the stop light switch connector.
5) Check that the brake lights operate properly.

NOTE:
It is not necessary to check or adjust the clearance to the stop light switch because it is automatically adjusted at installation.

2) If the stop light switch does not operate properly, replace with a new part.
