DESCRIPTION

Upon receiving the downhill assist control* or hill-start assist control operating signal from the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly), the relay contact turns on and the stop light comes on.


DTC No. Detection Item DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
C1380 Stop Light Control Relay Malfunction

Either of the following is detected:


  1. When the voltage at the +BS terminal is 9.5 V or higher and the stop light control relay drive output (STPO) is on, a signal has not been input to the STP terminal for 2 seconds or more.

  2. When the voltage at the +BS terminal is 9.5 V or higher and the stop light control relay drive output (STPO) is off, the signal at the STP is different from the input signal at the STP2 for 2 seconds or more.


  • IG1 NO. 3 fuse

  • STOP fuse

  • Stop light switch circuit
