RECONFIRM DTC |
(a) Clear the DTCs.
Chassis > ABS/VSC/TRAC/EPB > Clear DTCs
(b) Turn the engine switch off.
(c) Start the engine.
(d) Drive the vehicle and depress the brake pedal several times to test the stop light circuit.
(e) Check if the same DTC is output.

CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (STP TERMINAL) |
|
(a) Turn the engine switch off. |
|
(b) Make sure that there is no looseness at the locking part and the connecting part of the connector.
OK:
The connector is securely connected.
(c) Disconnect the A34 skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) connector.
(d) Check both the connector case and the terminals for deformation and corrosion.
OK:
No deformation or corrosion.
(e) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage:

Condition |
Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
|
A34-42 (STP) - Body ground |
Stop light switch assembly on (Brake pedal depressed) |
(+BS x 0.85) to 14 V* |
|
A34-42 (STP) - Body ground |
Stop light switch assembly off (Brake pedal released) |
Below 1.5 V |
HINT:
*: The minimum voltage value varies depending on the +BS terminal voltage value. The minimum voltage is 85% or more of the +BS terminal voltage.
| OK |
|
| NG |
|
