Inspection Procedure

NOTE: When replacing the skid control ECU, perform initialization of linear solenoid valve and calibration (see INITIALIZATION  ).
  1. INSPECT FUSE (STOP SW FUSE) 
    1. Remove the STOP SW fuse from the main body ECU RH.
    2. Check the STOP SW fuse.

      Standard resistance: 

      Below 1 Ω 

    NG: REPLACE FUSE (STOP SW FUSE) 

    OK: Go to next step 

  2. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (STOP LIGHT SWITCH) 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the power switch ON (IG).
    3. Select the Data List mode on the Techstream.

      ABS/VSC/TRAC:

      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Stop Lamp SW Stop light switch / ON or OFF ON: Brake pedal depressed
      OFF: Brake pedal released
      -
    4. Check that the stop light observed on the Techstream changes when the brake pedal is depressed.

      OK: 

      When the brake pedal is depressed, the Techstream displays "ON". 

    OK:  Go to step  8

    NG: Go to next step 

  3. CHECK WIRE HARNESS (SKID CONTROL ECU - STOP LIGHT SWITCH) 
    1. Disconnect the A13 ECU connector.
    2. Disconnect the A35 switch connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance 

      STANDARD RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      A13-45 (STP) - A35-1 Below 1 Ω
      A13-45 (STP) - Body ground 2 kΩ or lower

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  4. INSPECT STOP LIGHT SWITCH (POWER SOURCE TERMINAL) 
    1. Disconnect the A35 switch connector.
    2. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard voltage 

      STANDARD VOLTAGE SPECIFICATION

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      A35-2 - Body ground 10 to 14 V

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (POWER SOURCE CIRCUIT) 

    OK: Go to next step 

  5. INSPECT STOP LIGHT SWITCH 
    1. Disconnect the stop light switch connector.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance 

      STANDARD RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      1-2 Switch pin free Below 1 Ω
      1-2 Switch pin pushed in 10 kΩ or higher

    NG: REPLACE STOP LIGHT SWITCH 

    OK: Go to next step 

  6. CHECK WIRE HARNESS (SKID CONTROL ECU - BODY GROUND) 
    1. Disconnect the A13 and A15 ECU connectors.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance 

      STANDARD RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      A13-1 (GND) - Body ground Below 1 Ω
      A15-1 (GND4) - Body ground Below 1 Ω
    3. Fig 4: Identifying A13 And A15 ECU Connectors

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (GND CIRCUIT) 

    OK: Go to next step 

  7. RECONFIRM DTC 
    1. Clear the DTC (see DTC CHECK/CLEAR  ).
    2. Turn the power switch ON (READY).
    3. Depress the brake pedal several times to test the stop light circuit.
    4. Check if the same DTC is recorded (see DTC CHECK/CLEAR  ).

      HINT:

      Reinstall the sensors, connectors, etc. and restore the vehicle to its prior condition before rechecking for DTCs.

      Result 

      RESULT REFERENCE

      Condition Proceed to
      DTC (C1249/49) is not output A
      DTC (C1249/49) is output B

      HINT:

      If troubleshooting has been carried out according to the "PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE", refer back to the table and proceed to the next step (see PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE  ).

    B: REPLACE SKID CONTROL ECU  (See REMOVAL  )

    A: END 

  8. CHECK WIRE HARNESS (SKID CONTROL ECU - LUGGAGE ROOM JUNCTION BLOCK ECU) 
    1. Disconnect the A13 ECU connector.
    2. Disconnect the LC ECU connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
