DTC

C1426

Stop Light Switch OFF Stuck Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

The skid control ECU (housed in the actuator assembly) inputs stop light switch signals and the condition of brake operation.

The skid control ECU has an open detection circuit, which outputs this DTC when detecting an open in the stop light input line or the ground line of the stop light circuit with the stop light switch off (brake pedal not depressed).

DTC Code	DTC Detection Condition	Trouble Area
C1426	When the brake pedal load sensing switch is ON, the master cylinder pressure is 2 MPa or more and the deceleration calculated from the vehicle speed is 0.2 G or more, the stop light switch is OFF for 2 seconds or more.	STOP fuse Stop light switch assembly Stop light switch circuit Skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly)

WIRING DIAGRAM

Refer to DTC C1425 (See page ).

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

When replacing the brake actuator assembly, perform zero point calibration and store system information (See page ).
Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.

PROCEDURE

1.	CHECK BRAKE PEDAL HEIGHT AND STOP LIGHT SWITCH ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION

(a) Check the brake pedal height and stop light switch assembly installation (See page ).

OK:

The brake pedal height and stop light switch assembly installation are normal.

HINT:

If the on/off status of the stop light switch assembly and the pressure increase information from the master cylinder pressure sensor do not match due to an improperly installed brake pedal or stop light switch assembly, this DTC may be stored. Therefore, be sure to check the installation condition of the pedal and stop light switch assembly before inspecting the input signals and other related parts.

ADJUST BRAKE PEDAL HEIGHT OR STOP LIGHT SWITCH ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION

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

GO TO STEP 5

3.	READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (STOP LIGHT SW)

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(d) Enter the following menus: Chassis / ABS/VSC/ TRAC / Data List.

(e) According to the display on the Techstream, read the Data List.

ON: Brake pedal depressed

OFF: Brake pedal released

Brake Pedal Load Sensing SW

Brake Pedal load sensing switch / ON or OFF

ON: Brake pedal depressed beyond the specified point

OFF: Brake pedal not depressed beyond the specified point

(f) Check that the stop light switch display and brake pedal load sensing switch display observed on the Techstream change according to brake pedal operation.

OK:

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

(g) Slowly depress the brake pedal, and check that the stop light switch and brake pedal load sensing switch turn ON.

OK:

First the stop light switch should turn ON, and then the brake pedal load sensing switch should turn ON.
