• Brake pedal activated @ "ON" .

• Brake pedal not activated @ "OFF" .

If this is the case, proceed to point 6.

• Left : between pin 29 of the ICE module connector and pin 4 of the rear brake lights.

• Right : between pin 6 of the ICE module connector and pin 1 of the rear brake lights.

• High-level brake light : between pin 26 of the ICE module connector and pin 1 of the high-level brake light.
