Test E

  1. Turn ignition on. Measure resistance between breakout box pins No. 9 and 10. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to step 7). If resistance is more than 5 ohms, go to next step.
  2. Disconnect 2-pin fluid level indicator connector. Measure resistance across fluid level indicator terminals with brake fluid at maximum level. If resistance is less than 2 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is more than 2 ohms, replace fluid level indicator.
  3. Turn ignition off. Depress brake pedal at least 20 times to depressurize brake system. Disconnect 5-pin pressure warning switch connector. Check for continuity between pressure warning switch terminals No. 3 and 5. If continuity is present, replace pressure warning switch. If continuity is not present, go to next step.

  4. Check for continuity between breakout box pin No. 9 and fluid level indicator pin No. 1 on harness side. If continuity is present, go to next step. If continuity is not present, repair or replace wire harness.

  5. Check for continuity between fluid level indicator pin No. 2 on harness side and pressure warning switch pin No. 3 on harness side. If continuity is present, go to next step. If continuity is not present, repair wire harness.
  6. Check for continuity between pressure warning switch pin No. 5 on harness side and breakout box pin No. 10. If continuity is present, turn ignition off. Reconnect all electrical connectors and recheck symptoms. If continuity is not present, repair wire harness.
  7. Check for continuity between breakout box pins No. 9 and 10 in turn to ground. If continuity is present, go to next step. If continuity is not present, reconnect all electrical connectors. Recheck symptom.
  8. Disconnect 2-pin and 3-pin fluid level indicator connectors. Check for continuity between terminals No. 1 and 3, 4 and 5 in turn. Check for continuity between terminals No. 2 and 3, 4 and 5 in turn. If continuity is present, replace fluid level indicator. If continuity is not present, go to next step.

  9. Check for continuity between fluid level indicator terminal No. 1 and ground. If continuity is present, repair wire harness. If continuity is not present, go to next step.
  10. Disconnect 5-pin pressure warning switch connector. Check for continuity between fluid level indicator pin No. 2 on harness side and ground. If continuity is present, repair wire harness. If continuity is not present, go to next step.
  11. Check for continuity between pressure warning switch terminals No. 3 and 5 in turn to ground. If continuity is present, replace pressure warning switch. If continuity is not present, go to next step.
  12. Check for continuity between pressure warning switch pin No. 5 on harness side and ground. If continuity is present, repair wire harness. If continuity is not present, connect all electrical connectors. Recheck symptom.
