| DTC Code | DTC Name |
|---|---|
| 51 | Stop Light Switch Circuit Malfunction |
DESCRIPTION
In this system, the signal of the stop light switch is used to judge whether the stop light system is abnormal or not.
The stop light switch has a duplex system (signals STP and ST1-) to recognize the abnormality when the signals of depressing and releasing the brake pedal are detected simultaneously.
Tech Tips
The normal condition is shown in the table below.
| Signal | Brake Pedal Released | In Transition | Brake Pedal Depressed |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP | Off | On | On |
| ST1- | On | On | Off |
| DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|
| 51 | Conditions (a), (b) and (c) continue for 0.5 seconds or more(1 trip detection logic): (a) Ignition switch is ON. (b) Brake pedal is released. (c) STP signal is off when ST1- signal is off. |

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Note
Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.
Tech Tips
Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
When using intelligent tester:
PROCEDURE
READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (STOP LIGHT SWITCH)
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Stop Light SW.
