  • Malfunction of the stop lamp switch
  • Damaged wiring harness and connectors
  • Malfunction of CVT-ECU
  • Malfunction of ETACS-ECU

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE


STEP 1. M.U.T.-III CAN bus diagnostics


Use M.U.T.-III to perform the CAN bus diagnosis.

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 2.
Repair the CAN bus lines (Refer to GROUP 54C - Troubleshooting, Diagnosis Code Chart ).

STEP 2. M.U.T.-III data list


Item 50: Brake switch
OK: The service data changes in response to the brake operation.

Q. Is the check result normal?

Intermittent malfunction
Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Check the following connector:



  • C-304 ETACS-ECU connector
  • C-312 ETACS-ECU connector
  • C-126 Stop lamp switch connector
Check the contact status of the terminals.

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 4.
Repair the defective connector.

STEP 4. Stop Lamp Switch Check


Refer to GROUP 35A - Brake Pedal and Stop Lamp Switch Continuity Check (Refer to ).

Q. Is the check result normal?

Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 8. Symptom recheck after erasing diagnosis code


Q. Is the check result normal?

Intermittent malfunction
Replace the ETACS-ECU, and then go to Step 9.

STEP 9. Symptom recheck after erasing diagnosis code


Q. Is the check result normal?

Intermittent malfunction
