PRE-CRASH SAFETY SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:C1A4B

DTC Code DTC Name
C1A4B Stop Light Relay Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The brake booster with master cylinder assembly (skid control ECU) outputs a stop light signal to the stop light switch assembly. When the brake booster with master cylinder assembly (skid control ECU) detects a malfunction relating to the stop light circuit, the pre-crash safety city sensor is notified via CAN communication, and C1A4B is output.

DTC Code DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
C1A4B
  • Diagnosis condition:

    Ignition switch ON and pre-crash brake control is performed.


  • Malfunction condition:

    Either of the following conditions is met:

    - When the voltage at the IG1 terminal is between 11 V and 14 V and the stop light illumination output (STPO) is on, a signal has not been input to the STP2*1, STP*2 terminal continuously for 0.3 seconds or more.

    - When the voltage at the IG1 terminal is between 11 V and 14 V and the stop light illumination output (STPO) is off, the input signals at the STP terminal and STP2*1, STP*2 terminal differ continuously for 0.3 seconds or more.


  • Lighting system

  • Harness or connector

  • Stop light switch assembly

  • Brake booster with master cylinder assembly (Skid control ECU)

  • STP Relay*2

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note


  • When this DTC is output, a malfunction in the lighting system is suspected. Check if the lighting system is functioning normally.

  • Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.

  • When replacing the pre-crash safety city sensor, replace it with a new one and be sure to initialize the settings. If an ECU which was installed to another vehicle is used, the information stored in the pre-crash safety city sensor will not match the information from the vehicle and, as a result, a DTC may be output.

  • If the pre-crash safety city sensor has been replaced, or the windshield glass has been replaced or removed/installed, be sure to perform Recognition Camera/Target Position Memory and Recognition Camera Axis Adjust.

  • First check the CAN communication system by following How to Proceed with Troubleshooting. After checking that there are no malfunctions in the CAN communication system, proceed to troubleshooting.

  • Perform adjustment using "ONE TIME RECOGNITION" or "SEQUENTIAL RECOGNITION".
