ISSUE
Customer does not want the brake lights to come on when the engine brake is active.

DISCUSSION:
Activation of the stop lights when the engine brake is applied is an optional feature.  Activation of the stop lights occurs when the engine brake level selection switch is in the HI position and the engine is applying at least 70 percent of its braking power.

The SAM Chassis parameter "Engine Brake" controls whether or not the stop lights activate with the engine brake.  There are three options as follows:

A0004470961 - Engine brake does not activate the stop lights

A0004474561 - Engine brake activates the stop lights when engine brake is at 70% braking power

A0004471061 - Engine brakes activate the stop lights whenever the engine brake is active.

SOLUTION
If customer does not want the stop lights to active with engine brake operation, set the SAM Chassis "Engine Brake" parameter to A0004470961.
