Code No.C1340: Open Circuit Abnormality of Stoplamp Switch


<L.H.drive vehicles>

<R.H.drive vehicles>

caution If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an incorrect diagnosis code may be set. Diagnose the CAN bus lines before the diagnosis codes (Refer to GROUP 54C, CAN bus-line diagnostic flow ).

OPERATION



DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITIONS


This diagnosis code will be set if the vehicle speed is 15 km/h or more with the stop lamp switch "ON" continuously for 15 minutes or more.

PROBABLE CAUSES


The most likely causes for these diagnosis codes to set are:

DIAGNOSIS

STEP 1. M.U.T.-III CAN bus diagnostics.


caution Before connecting or disconnecting the M.U.T.-III, turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
(1)Connect M.U.T.-III to the 16-pin diagnosis connector.
(2)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3)Diagnose the CAN bus line.
(4)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q. Is the check result?

Go to Step 3.

Repair the CAN bus line (Refer to GROUP 54C, CAN bus line Diagnostic flow ). Then go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check whether the diagnosis code is reset.


caution Before connecting or disconnecting the M.U.T.-III, turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
(1)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2)Erase the diagnosis code.
(3)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
(4)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(5)Check if the diagnosis code is set.
(6)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q. Is code No.C1340 set?

Go to Step 3.

The procedure is complete.

STEP 3. Operation check of stop lamp
(1)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2)Check the operation of the stop lamp when the brake pedal is operated.
OK:

    Brake pedal depressed: ON
    Brake pedal released: OFF

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 5.
Go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Check of stop lamp switch
Refer to GROUP 35A, Brake pedal Inspection .

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 6.
Replace it. Then go to Step 8.

STEP 5. Voltage measurement at ASTC-ECU connector A-48.

(1)Disconnect the connector A-48, and connect special tool ASC check harness (MB992159) to the wiring harness-side connector.
note Do not connect special tool ASC check harness (MB992159) to the ASTC-ECU.
(2)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3)Measure the voltage between terminal 7 and terminal 16 or 31.
OK:

    Brake pedal depressed: System voltage
    Brake pedal released: 1 V or less

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 7.

Go to Step 6.

STEP 6. Check ASTC-ECU connector A-48, stop lamp switch connector C-114, junction connector C-10 and intermediate connector C-13 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.




Q. Is the check result normal?

An open or short circuit may be present between the stop lamp switch and ASTC-ECU. Repair the wiring harness between ASTC-ECU connector A-48 terminal 7 and stop lamp switch connector C-114 terminal 1. Then go to Step 8.

Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Then go to Step 8.

STEP 7. Check whether the diagnosis code is reset.


Check again if the diagnosis code is set.
(1)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2)Erase the diagnosis code.
(3)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
(4)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(5)Check if the diagnosis code is set.
(6)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q. Is code No.C1340 set?

Replace the hydraulic unit assembly (integrated with ASTC-ECU). Then go to Step 8.

It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent. Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction .

STEP 8. Check whether the diagnosis code is reset.


Check again if the diagnosis code is set.
(1)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2)Erase the diagnosis code.
(3)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
(4)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(5)Check if the diagnosis code is set.
(6)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q. Is code No.C1340 set?

Go to Step 1.

The procedure is complete.
