If misadjusted, replace the switch. It cannot be readjusted. If the electrical circuit has been tested and the brake lamp switch is suspected of being faulty, it can be tested using the following method.

BRAKES 5 - 17 DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING (Continued) BRAKE ROTOR Any servicing of the rotor requires extreme care to maintain the rotor within service tolerances to ensure proper brake action. Excessive runout or wobble in a rotor can increase pedal travel due to piston knock-back. This increases guide pin sleeve wear due to the tendency of the cal- iper to follow the rotor wobble.

5 - 18 BRAKES DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING (Continued) the rotor. (The hub and rotor runouts are separable). To measure rotor runout on the vehicle, first remove the tire and wheel assembly. Reinstall the wheel mounting nuts on the studs, tightening the rotor to the hub.
Page 130
BRAKES 5 - 19 DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING (Continued) If the hub runout does not exceed this specifica- tion, install the rotor back on the hub, aligning the chalk marks on the rotor with a wheel mounting stud, two studs apart from the original stud (Fig. 31). Tighten nuts in the proper sequence and torque to specifications.
