3.	Stop lamp switch system diagnosis SSEM : Stop Signal Electronic Module

4.	Refer to DTC guide when the related DTC codes are displayed.

Repair procedures

Removal

1.	Switch "OFF" ignition and disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal.

2.	Remove the crash pad lower panel. (Refer to Body - "Crash Pad Lower Panel")

3.	Disconnect the stop lamp switch connector (A).

4.	Pull the locking plate (A) as indicated by the

5.	Turn brake switch 45° counterclockwise and remove it.

Inspect the removed stop lamp switch according to the below procedures.

(1)	Confirm proper connection with terminal part -A confirmation can be made to see if the connector has been secured properly and if a connection mark is present.

(2)

Perform the inspection of parts resistance..

Resistance (Ω)	3-4	1-2
Plunger depressed (switch turned OFF)	Infinite	0
Plunger released (switch turned On)	0	0

Installation

1.	Fix the brake pedal arm and insert the brake switch fully until the contact part is invisible.

2.	After inserting, turn the brake switch 45° clockwise, and then assemble locking plate by pushing it.

Check the gap (A) between brake switch and bracket.

Stop lamp clearance : 1.0 - 2.0 mm (0.04 - 0.08 in.)

If the gap between stop lamp switch and bracket is not 1.0 - 2.0 mm (0.04 - 0.08 in.), perform the above process again.

4.	Install the brake switch connector (A).

Inspection

1. Fuse inspection

Mount the test fuse to the switch fuse and relay fuse part to confirm a normal joint fit.

2. KDS Data Analysis

Analyze KDS data and confirm if there is anything wrong with the stop lamp switch.

(1)	Connect the KDS to the self-diagnosis connector.

(2)	Turn the spark switch on

(3)	Step on the brake pedal.

(4)

Inspect the "brake switch" category that displays the "sensor data" KDS.)

Normal waveform : The pressure sensor signal value will change according to the brake ON/OFF switch.

3. Inspection of connector by each part

Check to see whether or not each connector has been damaged, or terminal surge, or incomplete connection has taken place

[Engine room junction box]

[ABS/VDC control module]

4. Inspect the stop lamp circuit

Connect probe to each terminal wire and confirm oscilloscope waveform.
