Code No. C1000 Abnormality in stop lamp switch circuit












caution If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an incorrect diagnosis code may be set. Prior to this diagnosis, diagnose the CAN bus lines (Refer to GROUP 54C, Trouble code diagnosis ).

OPERATION
ETACS-ECU sends the ON signal generated when the brake pedal is depressed and OFF signal generated when it is released to ABS-ECU via the CAN bus lines.

DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITIONS
This diagnosis code is set in the following case.

  • When the vehicle has run for a long time with the stop lamp switch turned ON.
  • When the OFF status of the stop lamp switch does not match the vehicle attitude

PROBABLE CAUSES

  • Improper adjustment of stop lamp switch installation position
  • Stop lamp switch malfunction
  • Damaged wiring harness and connectors
  • Malfunction of ETACS-ECU
  • ABS-ECU malfunction

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. M.U.T.-III CAN bus diagnosis
Use M.U.T.-III to diagnose the CAN bus lines.

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 3.
Repair the CAN bus lines (Refer to GROUP 54C - CAN Bus Diagnosis table ). On completion, go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Diagnosis code recheck after resetting CAN bus lines

Q. Is the diagnosis code No. C1000 set?
Go to Step 3.
This diagnosis is complete.

STEP 3. Stop lamp operation check
(1)Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(2)Check the stop lamp operation when the brake pedal is depressed. Check that the stop lamp illuminates when the brake pedal is depressed and that it goes out when the brake pedal is released.
OK:
    When the brake pedal is released: OFF
    When the brake pedal is depressed: ON

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 10.
Go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Check for stop lamp switch installation
Refer to GROUP 35A - On-vehicle Service .

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 5.
Install the stop lamp switch correctly (Refer to GROUP 35A - On-vehicle Service ).

STEP 5. Stop lamp switch continuity check
(1)Remove the stop lamp switch (Refer to GROUP 35A -Brake Pedal ).

(2)Connect the circuit tester (Ω range) to the stop lamp switch connector terminals No.1 and 2.
(3)When no continuity is detected with the plunger pressed from the edge of the outer case by the dimension shown in the figure and when continuity is detected with the plunger released, the stop lamp switch is in good condition.

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 6.

Replace the stop lamp switch (Refer to GROUP 35A -Brake Pedal ).

STEP 6. M.U.T.-III other system diagnosis code
Use M.U.T.-III to check if stop lamp-related diagnosis code is set in the ETACS-ECU(Refer to GROUP 54A - Rear Combination Lamp ).

Q. Is any diagnosis code set?
Troubleshoot the relevant diagnosis code (Refer to GROUP 54A - Rear Combination Lamp, Diagnosis trouble code chart ).
Go to Step 7.

STEP 7. Voltage measurement at C-304 ETACS-ECU connector
(1)Disconnect C-304 ETACS-ECU connector, and measure the voltage at ETACS-ECU side.
(2)Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(3)
caution Do not depress the brake pedal.
Measure the voltage between the terminal No.1 and the body earth.
OK: Approximately battery voltage

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 8.
Go to Step 9.

STEP 8. Connector check: C-304 ETACS-ECU connector, C-126 stop lamp switch connector

Q. Is the check result normal?
The open or short circuit between the C-304 ETACS-ECU connector terminal No.1 and the C-126 stop lamp switch connector terminal No.2 may be present. Repair the wiring harness between the C-304 ETACS-ECU connector terminal No.1 and the C-126 stop lamp switch connector terminal No.2.
Repair the defective connector.

STEP 9. ETACS-ECU fuse No.2 check

Q. Is the check result normal?
Replace the ETACS-ECU (Refer to GROUP 54A - ETACS-ECU ), and then go to Step 12.
Replace the fuse No.2.

STEP 10. Voltage measurement at C-312 ETACS-ECU connector
(1)Disconnect C-312 ETACS-ECU connector, and measure the voltage at ETACS-ECU side.
(2)Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(3)
caution Do not depress the brake pedal.
Measure the voltage between the terminal No.16 and the body earth.
OK: Approximately battery voltage

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 11.
Replace the ETACS-ECU (Refer to GROUP 54A - ETACS-ECU ), and then go to Step 12.

STEP 11. Connector check: C-312 ETACS-ECU connector, C-126 stop lamp switch connector

Q. Is the check result normal?
The open or short circuit between the C-312 ETACS-ECU connector terminal No.16 and the C-126 stop lamp switch connector terminal No.1 may be present. Repair the wiring harness between the C-312 ETACS-ECU connector terminal No.16 and the C-126 stop lamp switch connector terminal No.1.
Repair the defective connector.

STEP 12. Check whether the diagnosis code is reset.

Q. Is the diagnosis code No. 1000 set?
Replace the ABS-ECU (Refer to ).
This diagnosis is complete.
