- Replace the selector switch according to Selector switch, replacement Service and Repair.





Select "Continue" when the fault has been remedied.

Continue - Verification

------------------------

Checking the power supply to the brake valve








- Ignition off.
- Disconnect the brake valve.
- Selector switch connected.
- Ignition on.
- Selector switch in the OFF position.
Connect a voltmeter between brake valve connector terminal #1 and ground.









The voltmeter should read approximately 0 V.

OK - Checking the cable between the selector switch and the brake valve

Not OK - Checking for a short-circuit

------------------------

Checking for a short-circuit




- Ignition off.








- Check the cable between selector switch connector terminal #2 and brake valve connector terminal #1 for a short-circuit to supply voltage according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring And Terminals. Permanent Fault.





Select "Continue" when the fault has been remedied.

------------------------

Checking the cable between the selector switch and the brake valve








- Ignition off.
- Brake valve disconnected.
- Disconnect the selector switch.
Connect an ohmmeter between selector switch connector terminal #2 and the brake valve connector (terminal #1).









The ohmmeter should read 0 ohms.

OK - Checking brake valves

Not OK - Checking for an open-circuit

------------------------

Checking for an open-circuit




- Ignition off.








- Check the cable between selector switch connector terminal #2 and brake valve connector terminal #1 for an open-circuit according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring And Terminals. Permanent Fault.

Continue - Verification

------------------------

Checking brake valves








- Ignition off.
- Brake valve disconnected.
- Connect the selector switch.
- Selector switch in the OFF position.
Connect an ohmmeter between the terminal pins on the brake valve.









The ohmmeter should read approximately 0 ohms when the brake pedal is unaffected. The ohmmeter should read infinite resistance when the pedal is depressed more than 8 mm.

OK - Fault-tracing information

Not OK - Adjusting the brake valve

------------------------

Fault-tracing information




- Only cars with manual transmissions have a clutch valve. Specify the type of transmission before continuing with fault-tracing.

Does the car have a manual transmission?

Yes - Checking the power supply for the clutch valve

No - No Fault Found

------------------------

Adjusting the brake valve








- Ignition off.
- Brake valve disconnected.
- Depress the pedal so that it is not in contact with the valve.
- Pull out the piston as far as possible. Slowly release the pedal.
Connect an ohmmeter between the terminal pins on the brake valve.









The ohmmeter should read approximately 0 ohms when the brake pedal is unaffected. The ohmmeter should read infinite resistance when the pedal is depressed more than 8 mm.
