C1249
BRAKE CONTROL / DYNAMIC CONTROL SYSTEMS: VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM: C1249/49: Open in Stop Light Switch Circuit
DTC C1249/49 - Open in Stop Light Switch Circuit
DESCRIPTION
The skid control ECU (housed in the actuator assembly) inputs the stop light switch signal and the condition of brake operation.
The skid control ECU has an open detection circuit, which outputs this DTC when detecting an open in the stop light input line or the ground line of the stop light circuit with the stop light switch off (brake pedal not depressed).
WIRING DIAGRAM
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
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 -- INSPECT STOP FUSE
OK -- Continue to next step.
2. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (STOP LIGHT SWITCH)
(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
(c) Select the Data List on the Techstream Data List / Active Test.
ABS/VSC/TRAC
(d) Check that the stop light switch display observed on the Techstream changes according to brake pedal operation.
OK:
The Techstream displays ON or OFF according to brake pedal operation.
NG -- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SKID CONTROL ECU - ENGINE ROOM RELAY BLOCK)
OK -- Continue to next step.
3. RECONFIRM DTC
(a) Turn the ignition switch off.
(b) Clear the DTCs Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.
(c) Start the engine.
(d) Depress the brake pedal several times to test the stop light circuit.
(e) Check if the same DTC is recorded Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.
Result:
HINT: If troubleshooting has been carried out according to Problem Symptoms Table, refer back to the table and proceed to the next step Problem Symptoms Table.
B -- REPLACE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY
A -- CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS
4. INSPECT STOP FUSE
(a) Remove the STOP fuse from the main body ECU (driver side junction block).
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:

NG -- REPLACE STOP FUSE
OK -- Continue to next step.
5. INSPECT STOP LIGHT SWITCH (POWER SOURCE TERMINAL)
(a) Install the STOP fuse.
(b) Make sure that there is no looseness at the locking part and the connecting part of the connector.
(c) Disconnect the stop light switch connector.
(d) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage:
Text in Illustration
NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (POWER SOURCE CIRCUIT)
OK -- Continue to next step.
6. INSPECT STOP LIGHT SWITCH
(a) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
NG -- REPLACE STOP LIGHT SWITCH
OK -- Continue to next step.
7. INSPECT STOP LIGHT CONTROL (BRK) RELAY
(a) Remove the stop light control (BRK) relay.
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
Text in Illustration
NG -- REPLACE STOP LIGHT CONTROL (BRK) RELAY
OK -- Continue to next step.
8. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (STOP LIGHT SWITCH - ENGINE ROOM RELAY BLOCK)
(a) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
Text in Illustration
NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK -- Continue to next step.
9. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SKID CONTROL ECU - ENGINE ROOM RELAY BLOCK)
(a) Make sure that there is no looseness at the locking part and the connecting part of the connector.
(b) Disconnect the skid control ECU connector.
(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
Text in Illustration
NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK -- Continue to next step.
10. RECONFIRM DTC
(a) Clear the DTCs Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.
(b) Start the engine.
(c) Depress the brake pedal several times to test the stop light circuit.
(d) Check if the same DTC is recorded Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.
HINT: Reinstall the relay, connectors, etc. and restore the vehicle to its prior condition before rechecking for DTCs.
Result:
HINT: If troubleshooting has been carried out according to Problem Symptoms Table, refer back to the table and proceed to the next step Problem Symptoms Table.
B -- REPLACE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY
A -- INSPECT LIGHTING SYSTEM (STOP LIGHT CIRCUIT)
11. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SKID CONTROL ECU - ENGINE ROOM RELAY BLOCK)
(a) Turn the ignition switch off.
(b) Remove the stop light control (BRK) relay.
(c) Make sure that there is no looseness at the locking part and the connecting part of the connector.
(d) Disconnect the skid control ECU connector.
(e) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
