PRE-CRASH SAFETY SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:C1A4B

DTC Code DTC Name
C1A4B Stop Light Relay Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) sends a stop light operation signal to the stop light switch assembly. When the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) detects a malfunction in the stop light circuit, the driving support ECU assembly stores DTC C1A4B.

DTC No. Detection Item DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
C1A4B Stop Light Relay Circuit

Either of the following conditions is met:


  • When the power switch is on (IG), the IG1 terminal voltage is between 11 and 14 V and the stop light illumination output signal (STPO) is output, the signal is not received at terminal STP2 for 0.3 seconds or more.

  • When the power switch is on (IG), the IG1 terminal voltage is between 11 and 14 V and the stop light illumination output signal (STPO) is not output, the signals received at terminals STP and STP2 are different for 0.3 seconds or more.


  • Lighting system

  • Electronically controlled brake system

  • Harness or connector

  • Stop light switch assembly

  • Driving support ECU assembly

  • When replacing the driving support ECU assembly, always replace it with a new one. If a driving support ECU assembly which was installed to another vehicle is used, the information stored in the driving support ECU assembly will not match the information from the vehicle. As a result, a DTC may be stored.

PROCEDURE


  1. 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

  5. CHECK FOR DTCs (PRE-CRASH 2)


    1. Turn the power switch off and wait for at least 2 minutes.

    2. Clear the DTCs.

      Body Electrical > Pre-Crash 2 > Clear DTCs
    3. Make sure that the DTC detection conditions are met.

      Tech Tips

      If the detection conditions are not met, the system cannot detect the malfunction.


      • Using the GTS, perform the Active Test "Stop Light Relay" with the power switch on (IG).
