Toyota CH-R Service Manual: Open in Stop Light Switch Circuit (C1249)

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:

HINT:

*: 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.	Detection Item	DTC Detection Condition	Trouble Area
C1249	Open in Stop Light Switch Circuit	The vehicle speed is 10 km/h (6 mph) or more, the accelerator pedal is depressed, the master cylinder pressure is 0.5 MPa (5.09 kgf/cm2, 72 psi) or less, and the stop light switch is on for 60 seconds or more.

PROCEDURE

1.	CHECK ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND BRAKE PEDAL OPERATION

(a) Interview the customer to check if the pedals were depressed simultaneously while driving or braking.

OK:

The pedals were not depressed simultaneously.

HINT:

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.

OK

2.	CHECK STOP LIGHT OPERATION

(a) 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
Brake pedal released.	Off

NG

GO TO STEP 6

OK

3.	READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (STOP LIGHT SWITCH ASSEMBLY)

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(c) Select the Data List using the Techstream.

Stop Light SW

(d) Check that the stop light switch display observed on the Techstream changes according to brake pedal operation.

OK:

The Techstream displays ON or OFF according to brake pedal operation.

(b) Make sure that there is no looseness at the locking part and the connecting part of the connector.

(c) Disconnect the A42 skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) connector.

(d) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Voltage:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
A42-44 (STP2) - Body ground	Stop light switch ON (Brake pedal depressed)	11 to 14 V*
A42-44 (STP2) - Body ground	Stop light switch OFF (Brake pedal released)	Below 1.5 V

HINT:

*: The standard voltage value varies depending on the +BS terminal voltage value. The standard voltage is 85% of the +BS terminal voltage.

HINT:

If troubleshooting has been carried out according to Problem Symptoms Table, refer back to the table and proceed to the next step before replacing parts.
