VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:C1249

DTC Code DTC Name
C1249 Open in Stop Light Switch Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) receives stop light switch signals and uses them to determine whether or not the brakes are applied. DTCs may be stored if either of the following occurs:

  • Stop light switch stuck on malfunction.

  • The accelerator and brake pedals are depressed simultaneously.*

Tip:

*: The skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) 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 No.

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

      Tip:

      The skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) 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.
