ASCD Brake Switch


ASCD BRAKE SWITCH





Description
When the brake pedal is depressed, ASCD brake switch is turned OFF and stop lamp switch is turned ON.
ECM detects the state of the brake pedal by those two types of input (ON/OFF signal). System Description for the ASCD function.




Component Function Check
1.CHECK ASCD BRAKE SWITCH FUNCTION
With CONSULT-III
1. Turn ignition switch ON.
2. Select "BRAKE SW1" in "DATA MONITOR" mode with CONSULT-III.
3. Check "BRAKE SW1" indication under the following conditions.





Without CONSULT-III
1. Turn ignition switch ON.
2. Check the voltage between ECM harness connector terminals as per the following.





Is the inspection result normal?
YES - INSPECTION END
NO - Go to SEE Diagnosis Procedure.
