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 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 is on for 60 seconds or more.

  • Wire harness or connector

  • Stop light switch assembly

  • Skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly)

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.

      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 A97 skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) connector.

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

      Standard Voltage
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A97-30 (STP) - Body ground Stop light switch ON (Brake pedal depressed) 11 to 14 V*
      A97-30 (STP) - Body ground Stop light switch 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.
