Description:

The fault code indicates an open circuit in the brake lights system, resulting in no current flow. This typically happens due to severed wires, loose connectors, or failed components, rendering the brake lights inoperative and compromising vehicle safety by failing to signal braking actions to other road users.

Reaction:

The brake lights will not function, which can increase the risk of rear-end collisions due to the inability to communicate stopping or slowing actions.

Recommendations:

• Detailed Circuit Inspection: Thoroughly inspect all associated wiring and electrical components for disconnections or damage.
• Continuity Testing: Utilize a multimeter to test for continuity in the brake lights circuit to locate any interruptions.
• Component Repair and Replacement: Replace or repair any faulty elements found during the inspection.
• Operational Testing: Conduct a comprehensive test to ensure the brake lights work as expected after repairs.

Note:

Functional brake lights are essential for safe driving, especially in poor visibility conditions or heavy traffic; maintaining them in good working order is vital.
