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. DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
C1249

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)

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note


  • When replacing the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly), perform system variant learning and acceleration sensor zero point calibration Click here.

  • Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.

PROCEDURE


  1. 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.


    NG

    CLEAR DTC

    OK

  2. CHECK STOP LIGHT OPERATION


    1. Check that the stop lights come on when the brake pedal is depressed, and go off when the brake pedal is released.

      OK
      Condition Illumination Condition
      Brake pedal depressed On
      Brake pedal released Off

    NG

    OK

  3. READ VALUE USING GTS (STOP LIGHT SWITCH ASSEMBLY)


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

    3. Select the Data List on the GTS Click here.

      Stop Light SW Stop light switch assembly/ ON or OFF

      ON: Brake pedal depressed

      OFF: Brake pedal released

      		 -

    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.

    OK

  4. RECONFIRM DTC


    1. Turn the ignition switch off.

    2. Clear the DTCs Click here.

    3. Turn the ignition switch off.

    4. Start the engine.

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

    6. Check if the same DTC is output Click here.

      Turn the ignition switch off.

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

    3. Disconnect the A68 (for CVT) or A69 (for A/T or M/T) skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) connector.

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

      Standard Voltage (for CVT)
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A68-30 (STP) - Body ground Stop light switch assembly ON (Brake pedal depressed) 11 to 14 V*
      A68-30 (STP) - Body ground Stop light switch assembly OFF (Brake pedal released) Below 1.5 V
      Standard Voltage (for A/T or M/T)
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A69-6 (STP) - Body ground Stop light switch assembly ON (Brake pedal depressed) 11 to 14 V*
      A69-6 (STP) - Body ground Stop light switch assembly OFF (Brake pedal released) Below 1.5 V

      Tech Tips

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