Causes
- Burnt or open bulb/LED lamp element
- Blown fuse or faulty relay for stop lamps
- Open or shorted wiring in right rear lamp circuit (connector, harness damage)
- Poor or corroded ground at lamp or chassis
- Corroded/dirty lamp socket or connector pins
- Faulty body control module (BCM) or lamp driver output
Symptoms
- Right rear brake/stop light does not illuminate when brake pedal pressed
- Intermittent operation of right stoplamp (works sometimes)
- Brake warning or bulb-out indicator on dash (if equipped)
- Possible other body lighting or CAN warnings if BCM detects driver fault
What to check
- Verify customer complaint by activating brakes and visually inspecting right rear lamp
- Scan vehicle with appropriate diagnostic tool and read/record C111A and any related codes
- Inspect right rear lamp assembly for burned filament, moisture ingress, or damage
- Check relevant fuses and relays for continuity and correct seating
- Visually inspect wiring and connector for corrosion, bent pins, broken wires, or aftermarket splices
- Backprobe lamp connector and check for voltage/ground while brake pedal is pressed
Signal parameters
- Expected voltage at lamp + terminal with pedal pressed: approximately 11–14 V (vehicle battery voltage)
- Expected voltage at lamp - (ground) with pedal pressed: near 0 V (ground) or continuity to chassis ground
- Bulb filament resistance (incandescent stop lamp): typically 1–5 Ω when cold (varies by bulb type)
- LED stop lamp: low current draw (mA to
- BCM/lamp driver output state: command active (depending on scan tool: ON/1)
Diagnostic algorithm
- Connect a diagnostic scanner, read and record C111A and any other stored codes; note freeze frame/live data if available
- Verify operation: press brake pedal and observe right stoplamp behavior; confirm left lamp operation for comparison
- Inspect right stoplamp bulb or LED module and socket; replace bulb with known good if incandescent and re-test
- Check fuses/relays related to stop lamps; replace if blown and re-test
- Backprobe the lamp connector while an assistant presses the brake pedal: confirm presence of +12 V (or switched signal) on the feed pin and good ground on ground pin
- If no voltage at lamp feed, trace wiring toward BCM: inspect connectors, splice points and harness for damage; perform continuity test between lamp feed and BCM output with ignition off
- If voltage present but lamp does not light, test lamp socket ground continuity to chassis; repair poor ground
- If intermittent, perform wiggle test along harness and connectors while observing scanner/live data for changes
- If wiring and lamp/grounds are good but module output is not switching, check BCM power/ground/fuse circuits and related communication lines; replace BCM only after confirming upstream supplies and wiring are good
- Clear codes and test drive/operate brakes to confirm the fault does not return
Likely causes
- Failed/right stoplamp bulb or LED module
- Corroded or loose connector at right rear lamp cluster
- Open/shorted wire between right rear lamp and BCM (common at hinge/bolt points)
- Bad ground at lamp cluster or chassis point
- Blown fuse protecting stoplamp circuit
Fault status
Status
Fault detected in right stoplamp circuit — lamp not responding or circuit parameters outside expected range; stored by vehicle module for right rear stoplamp.
Repair difficulty: Medium
Diagnostic time: 0.5-2 hours
