Toyota Tundra Service Manual: Stop Light Switch OFF Stuck Malfunction (C1426)

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 a short in the stop light input signal circuit or stop light circuit when the stop light switch assembly is on (brake pedal depressed).

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

DTC No.

Stop Light Switch OFF Stuck Malfunction

With the stop light switch assembly off, the master cylinder pressure is more than 1.5 MPa (15.3 kgf/cm2, 217 psi) for 1 second or more.

  • Wire harness or connector
  • Stop light switch assembly
  • Skid Control ECU (brake Actuator Assembly)

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

  • When replacing the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly), perform system variant learning and acceleration sensor zero point calibration.

  • Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.

PROCEDURE

1.

CHECK BRAKE PEDAL AND STOP LIGHT SWITCH ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION

(a) Check the brake pedal height installation.

Click here

(b) Check the stop light switch assembly installation.

Click here

OK:

The brake pedal height and stop light switch assembly installation are normal.

HINT:

If the on/off status of the stop light switch assembly and pressure increase information from the master cylinder pressure sensor do not match due to an improperly installed brake pedal or stop light switch assembly, this DTC may be stored. Therefore, be sure to check the installation condition of the pedal and switch before inspecting the input signals and other related parts.
