DTC C13A3: Open or Short Circuit in Lock Switch Circuit; DTC C13AB: Lock Switch Circuit Comparison [10/2020 - 10/2023]: Description

When the electric parking brake switch assembly is pushed to the lock side, a lock request signal is output to the parking brake ECU assembly.

DTC No. Detection Item DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area Memory Note
C13A3 Open or Short Circuit in Lock Switch Circuit Detection Condition 1: 
  • Diagnosis Condition:

    Electric parking brake switch assembly is operated to lock side with power switch off or power switch is turned on (IG)

  • Malfunction Status:

    LCK1 terminal voltage is below 2.3 V or 4.35 V or more

  • Malfunction Duration:

    Approximately 1 second

Detection Condition 2: 

  • Diagnosis Condition:

    Electric parking brake switch assembly is operated to lock side with power switch off or power switch is turned on (IG)

  • Malfunction Status:

    LCK2 terminal voltage is below 1.4 V (*) or above 9 V (*)

  • Malfunction Duration:

    Approximately 1 second


HINT: 
*: This value is based on the assumption that the BECU terminal voltage is 11 V.
The threshold changes according to the BECU terminal voltage.
For details, refer to "Threshold Changes According to BECU Terminal Voltage".
