DESCRIPTION

In addition to turning on the stop lights, the stop light switch signals are used for a variety of engine, transmission and suspension functions. The stop light switch is designed with 2 complementary signal outputs, STP and ST1-. The ECM analyzes these signal outputs to detect malfunctions in the stop light switch.

DTC No.

REPAIR OR REPLACE STOP LIGHT SWITCH
OK


2.INSPECT STOP LIGHT SWITCH
A107172E04

  1. Disconnect the A37 stop light switch.

  1. Measure the resistance of the switch.

    Standard resistance:
    Tester Connection
    		Switch Condition
    		Specified Condition
    1 - 2
    		Switch pin not pushed
    		Below 1 Ω
    3 - 4
    		Switch pin not pushed
    		10 kΩ or higher
    1 - 2
    		Switch pin pushed in
    		10 kΩ or higher
    3 - 4
    		Switch pin pushed in
    		Below 1 Ω

REPLACE STOP LIGHT SWITCH
OK


3.READ DATA LIST
A072880E05

  1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

  1. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

  1. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / Primary / Stop Light Switch.

  1. Confirm the stop light switch status when the brake pedal is depressed and released.

    OK:
    Brake Pedal Condition
    		Specified Condition
    Depressed
    		STP Signal ON
    Released
    		STP Signal OFF

  1. Measure the voltage of the ECM when the brake pedal is depressed and released.

    Standard voltage:
    Tester Connection
    		Brake Pedal Condition
    		Specified Condition
    A6-8 (ST1-) - E7-7 (E1)
    		Depressed
    		Below 1.5 V
    A6-8 (ST1-) - E7-7 (E1)
    		Released
    		7.5 to 14 V



OK
CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS
NG


4.CHECK WIRE HARNESS (STOP LIGHT SWITCH - ECM)
A103680E08

  1. Disconnect the A37 stop light switch connector.

  1. Disconnect the A6 and A7 ECM connectors.

  1. Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.

    Standard resistance:
    Tester Connection
    		Specified Condition
    A37-1 - A7-4 (STP)
    		Below 1 Ω
    A37-4 - A6-8 (ST1-)
    		Below 1 Ω
    A37-1 or A7-4 (STP) - Body ground
    		10 kΩ or higher
    A37-4 or A6-8 (ST1-) - Body ground
    		10 kΩ or higher
