DTC C1426: Stop Light Switch OFF Stuck Malfunction [08/2015 - ]: Procedure

  1. CHECK BRAKE PEDAL AND STOP LIGHT SWITCH ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION 
    1. Check the brake pedal height and stop light switch assembly installation. Refer to ADJUSTMENT [08/2015 - ] .

      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 the 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.
