DTC 52

DTC 52 STOP LIGHT SWITCH CIRCUIT

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

DTC Detection Condition:




The cruise control system cancels cruising when the ECM detects that the brake pedal is depressed while cruise control driving. The stop lamp switch assy sends signals to the ECM according to the brake pedal conditions. When the brake pedal is free, terminal ST1- is positive (+) battery voltage, and terminal STP voltage is below 1 V. While depressing the brake pedal, terminal ST1- is below 1 V, and STP is positive (+) battery voltage. Under braking, the ECM cancels cruise control drive as one of the manual cancel functions. The ECM outputs this trouble code when voltage of terminals ST1- and STP are both below 1 V for 0.5 second or more at the same moment.

Fail-safe function operates to enable normal driving even if there is a malfunction in the stop lamp signal circuit.
