VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:C1249

DTC Code DTC Name
C1249 Open in Stop Light Switch Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) receives stop light switch assembly signals and uses them to determine whether or not the brakes are applied. DTCs may be stored if either of the following occurs:


Tech Tips

*: The skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) may store this DTC upon judging that a stuck on malfunction has occurred when the accelerator pedal and brake pedal are depressed simultaneously. However, this does not indicate a malfunction.

DTC No. Detection Item DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
C1249 Open in Stop Light Switch Circuit

The vehicle speed is 10 km/h (6 mph) or more, the accelerator pedal is depressed, the master cylinder pressure is 0.5 MPa (5.09 kgf/cm2, 72 psi) or less, and the stop light switch assembly is on for 60 seconds or more.

  • Wire harness or connector

  • Stop light switch assembly

  • Skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly)

PROCEDURE


  1. READ VALUE USING GTS (BS1 VOLTAGE VALUE)


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

    3. Enter the following menus: Chassis / ABS/VSC/TRC / Data List.


      Chassis > ABS/VSC/TRC > Data List
      Tester Display Measurement Item Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      BS1 Voltage Value +BS voltage value Min.: 0.00 V, Max.: 20.00 V - Changes in proportion to battery voltage

      Chassis > ABS/VSC/TRC > Data List
      Tester Display
      BS1 Voltage Value

    4. Take a note of the +BS voltage value.

      Tech Tips

      The noted +BS voltage value is used in a later step.

  2. CHECK ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND BRAKE PEDAL OPERATION


    1. Interview the customer to check if the pedals were depressed simultaneously while driving or braking.

      OK
      The pedals were not depressed simultaneously.

      Tech Tips

      The skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) may store this DTC upon judging that a stuck on malfunction has occurred when the accelerator pedal and brake pedal are depressed simultaneously.

      If the pedals were depressed simultaneously, clear the DTC because it is not a malfunction.

    4. Check that the stop light switch assembly display observed on the GTS changes according to brake pedal operation.

      OK
      The GTS displays on or off according to brake pedal operation.

  5. RECONFIRM DTC


    1. Clear the DTCs.


      Chassis > ABS/VSC/TRC > Clear DTCs

    2. Turn the ignition switch off.

    3. Start the engine.

    4. Drive the vehicle and depress the brake pedal several times to test the stop light circuit.

    5. Check if the same DTC is output.

      Turn the ignition switch off.

    2. Make sure that there is no looseness at the locking part and the connecting part of the connector.

      OK
      The connector is securely connected.

    3. Disconnect the A34 skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) connector.

    4. Check both the connector case and the terminals for deformation and corrosion.

      OK
      No deformation or corrosion.

    5. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A34-42 (STP) - Body ground Stop light switch assembly on (Brake pedal depressed) (+BS x 0.85) to 14 V*
      A34-42 (STP) - Body ground Stop light switch assembly off (Brake pedal released) Below 1.5 V

      Tech Tips

      *: The minimum voltage value varies depending on the +BS terminal voltage value. The minimum voltage is 85% or more of the +BS terminal voltage.
