INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
- When replacing the master cylinder solenoid, perform calibration Programming and Relearning.
- Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.

HINT
When DTC C1425 is output together with DTC C1380, inspect and repair the trouble areas indicated by DTC C1425 first C1425.

PROCEDURE

1. 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:





NG -- CHECK TERMINAL VOLTAGE AND RESISTANCE (+B, GND)
OK -- Continue to next step.

2. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (STOP LIGHT SW)

(a) Turn the engine switch off.

(b) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(c) Turn the engine switch on (IG).

(d) Turn the Techstream on.

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

ABS/VSC/TRAC





(f) Check that the stop light switch condition observed on the Techstream changes according to brake pedal operation.

OK:

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

NG -- CHECK TERMINAL VOLTAGE (STP)
OK -- Continue to next step.

3. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (STOP LIGHT RELAY)

(a) Turn the engine switch off.

(b) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(c) Turn the engine switch on (IG).

(d) Turn the Techstream on.

(e) Enter the following menus: Chassis / ABS/VSC/TRAC / Active Test.

ABS/VSC/TRAC





(f) While performing the Active Test, check the illumination condition of the stop lights and "Stop Light Relay Output" in the Data List.

ABS/VSC/TRAC





Result





B -- INSPECT STOP LP RELAY
A -- Continue to next step.

4. CHECK TERMINAL VOLTAGE (STP2)

(a) Disconnect the A7 skid control ECU connector.

(b) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.





Standard Voltage:

NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK -- Continue to next step.

5. RECONFIRM DTC

(a) Clear the DTCs Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

(b) Start the engine.

(c) Perform a road test.

(d) Check if the same DTC is output Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

Result





B -- REPLACE MASTER CYLINDER SOLENOID Disassembly

A -- USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK How To Proceed With Troubleshooting
