Narrative:
Shortly after setting takeoff power, the flap/rudder stop annunciator light illuminated. Takeoff attempt was aborted using standard abort procedures. Upon leaving the runway (31C), passenger were advised of the situation. The flaps were cycled from 5 degrees, to 15 degrees, to 0 degrees, and back to 5 degrees. The flap/rudder stop light was out by the time the aircraft initially left the runway and did not illuminate again. Checklists were repeated and an uneventful takeoff followed.

Narrative: SHORTLY AFTER SETTING TKOF PWR, THE FLAP/RUDDER STOP ANNUNCIATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED. TKOF ATTEMPT WAS ABORTED USING STANDARD ABORT PROCS. UPON LEAVING THE RWY (31C), PAX WERE ADVISED OF THE SIT. THE FLAPS WERE CYCLED FROM 5 DEGS, TO 15 DEGS, TO 0 DEGS, AND BACK TO 5 DEGS. THE FLAP/RUDDER STOP LIGHT WAS OUT BY THE TIME THE ACFT INITIALLY LEFT THE RWY AND DID NOT ILLUMINATE AGAIN. CHKLISTS WERE REPEATED AND AN UNEVENTFUL TKOF FOLLOWED.
