DTC C1000: Abnormality in stoplight switch circuit

























CAUTION:

- If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an incorrect DTC may be set. Prior to this diagnosis, diagnose the CAN bus lines CAN Bus Line Diagnostics Flow.
- Whenever ECU is replaced, ensure that the CAN bus lines are normal.
- When the hydraulic unit (integrated with ASC-ECU) is replaced, always carry out the calibration of the steering wheel sensor, the G and yaw rate sensor and brake fluid pressure sensor (Refer to Active Stability Control System (ASC) , Active Stability Control System (ASC) and Active Stability Control System (ASC) ).

CIRCUIT OPERATION

ETACS-ECU sends the ON signal generated when the brake pedal is depressed and OFF signal generated when it is released to ABS-ECU via the CAN bus lines.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

This DTC is set in the following case.

- When the vehicle has run for a long time with the stoplight switch turned ON.
- When the OFF status of the stoplight switch does not match the vehicle attitude

PROBABLE CAUSES

- Improper adjustment of stoplight switch installation position
- Malfunction of the stoplight switch
- Damaged wiring harness and connectors
- Malfunction of ETACS-ECU
- ASC-ECU malfunction
