DTC C1425: Open in Stop Light Switch Circuit [04/2018 - 08/2021]: Procedure

  1. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (BS1 VOLTAGE VALUE) 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    3. Enter the following menus: Chassis / ABS/VSC/TRAC/EPB / Data List.

      Chassis > ABS/VSC/TRAC/EPB > Data List 

      Tester Display Measurement Item Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      BS1 Voltage Value +BS voltage value Min.: 0.00 V, Max.: 20.00 V - Changes in proportion to battery voltage

      Chassis > ABS/VSC/TRAC/EPB > Data List 

      Tester Display
      BS1 Voltage Value
    4. Take a note of the +BS voltage value.

      HINT: 

      The noted +BS voltage value is used in a later step.

      Proceed to
      NEXT

    Result: 

    NEXT 

    See step  2

  2. INSPECT STOP LIGHT SWITCH ASSEMBLY 
    1. Inspect the stop light switch assembly.

      Refer to ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION [04/2018 -]

      OK

      The stop light switch assembly is normal.

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPLACE STOP LIGHT SWITCH ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL [04/2018 -] 

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  3

  3. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (STOP LIGHT SWITCH ASSEMBLY) 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    3. Enter the following menus: Chassis / ABS/VSC/TRAC/EPB / Data List.

      Chassis > ABS/VSC/TRAC/EPB > Data List 

      Tester Display Measurement Item Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Stop Light SW Stop light switch assembly ON or OFF ON: Brake pedal depressed
      OFF: Brake pedal released
      -

      Chassis > ABS/VSC/TRAC/EPB > Data List 

      Tester Display
      Stop Light SW
    4. Check that the stop light switch assembly display observed on the Techstream changes according to brake pedal operation.

      OK

      The Techstream displays on or off according to brake pedal operation.

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    NG 

    See step  5

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  4

  4. RECONFIRM DTC 
    1. Clear the DTCs.

      Chassis > ABS/VSC/TRAC/EPB > Clear DTCs 

    2. Turn the engine switch off.
    3. Start the engine.
    4. Depress the brake pedal several times to test the stop light circuit.
    5. Check if the same DTC is output.

      Chassis > ABS/VSC/TRAC/EPB > Trouble Codes 

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      C1425 is not output A
      C1425 is output B

    Result: 

    USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK. Refer to  HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING [04/2018 -] 

    Result: 

    REPLACE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL [04/2018 - 08/2020]  , or refer to  REMOVAL [08/2020 - 08/2021] 

  5. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (STP TERMINAL) 
    1. Turn the engine switch off.

      *a Front view of wire harness connector
      (to Skid Control ECU (Brake Actuator Assembly))
    2. Make sure that there is no looseness at the locking part and the connecting part of the connector.

      OK

      The connector is securely connected.

    3. Disconnect the A28 skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) connector.
    4. Check both the connector case and the terminals for deformation and corrosion.

      OK

      No deformation or corrosion.

    5. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A28-42 (STP) - Body ground Stop light switch assembly on (Brake pedal depressed) (+BS x 0.85) to 14 V*
      A28-42 (STP) - Body ground Stop light switch assembly off (Brake pedal released) Below 1.5 V

      HINT: 

      *: The minimum voltage value varies depending on the +BS terminal voltage value. The minimum voltage is 85% or more of the +BS terminal voltage.

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    OK 

    REPLACE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL [04/2018 - 08/2020]  , or refer to  REMOVAL [08/2020 - 08/2021] 

    Result: 

    NG
