DTC C13A3: Open or Short Circuit in Lock Switch Circuit; DTC C13AB: Lock Switch Circuit Comparison [02/2019 - 12/2021]: Description

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

When the electric parking brake switch (integration control and panel assembly) is pulled 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 All of following conditions are met:
  1. Ignition switch ON or electric parking brake switch (integration control and panel assembly) pulled to lock side with ignition switch off.
  2. Terminal LCK1 voltage is less than 2.3 V or more than 4.35 V; or terminal LCK2 voltage is less than 1.4 V* or more than 9.0 V*.
  3. Problem occurs for 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".
  • Electric parking brake switch (integration control and panel assembly)
  • Wire harness or connector
  • Parking brake ECU assembly
Yes An electric parking brake system malfunction is displayed on the multi-information display.
C13AB Lock Switch Circuit Comparison Both of following conditions are met:
  1. Ignition switch ON or electric parking brake switch (integration control and panel assembly) pulled to lock side with ignition switch off.
  2. ON/OFF judgment of lock switch 1 and lock switch 2 does not match for approximately 1 second.
  • Electric parking brake switch (integration control and panel assembly)
  • Wire harness or connector
  • Parking brake ECU assembly
Yes An electric parking brake system malfunction is displayed on the multi-information display.
