This bulletin supercedes TSB 09-BR-002. In this bulletin, there is a TSB group change from Brake System (BR) to Body Electrical System (BE). DESCRIPTION: Some Genesis (Sedan BH) vehicles may experience the stop lamps blinking on and off even when the brakes are not applied. If the Z01 diode is suspected as the cause of the stop lamp malfunction, the Z01 diode must be inspected according to the procedure below. If there is no trouble with the Z01 diode after inspection, carry out other necessary repairs and DO NOT replace the Z01 diode. Genesis Sedan (BH) stop lamp-related wiring diagrams:
