DTC C1426: Stop Switch OFF Stuck [04/2018 - 08/2021]: Description

The skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) receives stop light switch assembly signals and uses them to determine whether or not the brakes are applied.

The skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) has a detection circuit that it uses to detect a short in the stop light input signal circuit or stop light circuit when the stop light switch assembly is on (brake pedal depressed).

If the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) detects a short in this circuit, it will store this DTC.
