The main purpose of a brake light on a car is to warn drivers of vehicles driving behind them about slowing down or stopping the car. This is why their work is so important to road safety. If the signal breaks down or to replace the lamp, the flashlight must be removed, sometimes you have to do it yourself.
Instructions
Step 1
Toyota cars, like all others, have two brake lights at the front and rear. In the interest of safety, the brake signals should be monitored regularly. If during the test the hazard warning light signal does not turn on, then the reason for this is most likely a malfunction of the hazard warning light switch. Sometimes it is enough to click on it several times to make it work normally. If this does not happen, remove the switch while squeezing the retaining tabs. Remove from the groove and check the pins of the pin connection.
Step 2
During the installation of the brake light switch, press it against the pedal support in such a way that even when the pedal is released, the pin pushes the switch. Flawless operation is only possible with the correct connection of the pin block.
Step 3
There are several simple ways to check if the brake signals are working properly. So, while in the garage, you just need to see a red reflection on the wall when you press the brake pedal. And while driving, look in the rearview mirror. If you see that the light of your brake lights is reflected in the reflectors of the headlights or from the surface of the body of a car walking behind you, then everything is in order.
Step 4
Removal and installation of the brake light switch of the Toyota-Corolla car is carried out as follows. First, turn off the ignition and disconnect the plug from the brake light switch. After you loosen the lock nut and unscrew the switch, you can proceed with the installation.
Step 5
Measure the height of the pedal from the floor. It must comply with the technical data of the braking system. Start turning the switch until it reaches the pedal, then make another half turn and tighten the lock nut. Connect the plug and turn on the ignition. Step on the brake pedal and have someone look at the brake lights. If everything is done correctly, then they turn on already with a slight press.
