Title: BRAKE CONTROL / DYNAMIC CONTROL SYSTEMS: VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM (w/ Electric Parking Brake System): C1380; Stop Light Control Relay Malfunction; 2018 - 2020 MY Camry [06/2017 - 03/2020]

DTC

C1380

Stop Light Control Relay Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

When the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) applies the brakes after receiving a brake request signal from the pre-collision system, dynamic radar cruise control system, secondary collision brake system or brake hold control system, the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) operates the stop light control relay (stop light switch assembly) to illuminate the stop lights.

DTC No.

Either condition is met:

  • When the voltage at the +BS terminal is between 10 V or more and the stop light control relay (stop light switch assembly) drive output (STPO) is on, a signal is not input to the STP terminal for 5 seconds or more.
  • When the voltage at the +BS terminal is between 10 V or more and the stop light control relay (stop light switch assembly) drive output (STPO) is off, the signal at the STP2 terminal is different from the input signal at the STP terminal for 5 seconds or more.
