DTC

B2284

Brake Signal Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

This DTC is stored when the brake signal sent via direct line and the brake signal sent via CAN communication do not match.

DTC No.	Detection Item	DTC Detection Condition	Trouble Area	Note
B2284	Brake Signal Malfunction	The brake signal sent via direct line and the brake signal sent via CAN communication do not match. (1-trip detection logic*)	Electronically controlled brake system Stop light switch assembly Certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) Harness or connector	DTC Output Confirmation Operation: Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal, release the brake pedal and wait at least 20 seconds. Then depress the brake pedal for 20 seconds or more.

*: Only detected while a malfunction is present.

Vehicle Condition and Fail-safe Function when Malfunction Detected

Vehicle Condition when Malfunction Detected

Fail-safe Function when Malfunction Detected

With the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly in the cabin, even if an engine start operation is performed, the engine does not start (the key indicator display is not displayed on the multi-information display). However, the engine can be started by turning the engine switch on (ACC) and then pressing and holding it.

If there is a malfunction when the brake signal sent via direct line is on, the engine can be started by pressing the engine switch with the brake pedal released.
If there is a malfunction when the brake signal sent via direct line is off, the engine cannot be started by pressing the engine switch with the brake pedal depressed.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

When using the Techstream with the engine switch off, connect the Techstream to the DLC3 and turn a courtesy light switch on and off at intervals of 1.5 seconds or less until communication between the Techstream and the vehicle begins. Then select the vehicle type under manual mode and enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Smart Key. While using the Techstream, periodically turn a courtesy light switch on and off at intervals of 1.5 seconds or less to maintain communication between the Techstream and the vehicle.
The smart key system (for Start Function) uses the LIN communication system and CAN communication system. Inspect the communication function by following How to Proceed with Troubleshooting. Troubleshoot the smart key system (for Start Function) after confirming that the communication systems are functioning properly.
