VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:C1249/49

DTC Code DTC Name
C1249/49 Open in Stop Light Switch Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The skid control ECU receives stop light switch assembly signals and uses them to determine whether or not the brakes are applied.

DTCs may be stored if one of the following occurs:


Tech Tips

*: The skid control ECU 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 Code DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area

INSPECTION 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 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.

    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
