Toyota Avalon Service & Repair Manual: Open in Stop Light Switch Circuit (C1425)

DESCRIPTION

The skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) receives stop light switch assembly signals and uses them to determine whether or not the brakes are applied.

The skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) has a detection circuit that it uses to detect an open in the stop light input line.

If the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) detects an open in this circuit, it will store this DTC.

DTC No.

4.

RECONFIRM DTC

(a) Clear the DTCs.

Chassis > ABS/VSC/TRAC/EPB > Clear DTCs

(b) Turn the engine switch off.

(c) Start the engine.

(d) Depress the brake pedal several times to test the stop light circuit.

(e) Check if the same DTC is output.

(b) Make sure that there is no looseness at the locking part and the connecting part of the connector.

OK:

The connector is securely connected.

(c) Disconnect the A28 skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) connector.

(d) Check both the connector case and the terminals for deformation and corrosion.

OK:

No deformation or corrosion.

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

Standard Voltage:

Condition

Specified Condition

A28-42 (STP) - Body ground

Stop light switch assembly on (Brake pedal depressed)

(+BS x 0.85) to 14 V*

A28-42 (STP) - Body ground

Stop light switch assembly off (Brake pedal released)

Below 1.5 V

HINT:

*: The minimum voltage value varies depending on the +BS terminal voltage value. The minimum voltage is 85% or more of the +BS terminal voltage.

OK

REPLACE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY
