Inspection Procedure

  1. READ VALUE OF TECHSTREAM (STOP LIGHT SWITCH) 
    1. Check the DATA LIST for proper functioning of the stop light switch.

      ECM (cruise control) 

      ITEM MEASUREMENT NORMAL CONDITION CHART

      Tester Display Measurement Item / Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Stp Light SW M-CPU Stop light switch signal (Main CPU) / ON or OFF ON: Brake pedal is depressed
      OFF: Brake pedal is released
      -

      OK: 

      OK: Display changes according to brake pedal operation described in above table. 

    OK: REPLACE ECM 

    NG: Go to next step 

  2. INSPECT STOP LIGHT SWITCH ASSEMBLY 
    1. Disconnect the stop light switch connector.
    2. Measure the resistance of the switch.

      Standard voltage 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION

      Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
      1 - 2 Pin not pushed (Brake pedal depressed) Below 1 Ω
      3 - 4 Pin not pushed (Brake pedal depressed) 10 kΩ or higher
      1 - 2 Pin pushed (Brake pedal released) 10 kΩ or higher
      3 - 4 Pin pushed (Brake pedal released) Below 1 Ω

    NG: REPLACE STOP LIGHT SWITCH 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. CHECK WIRE HARNESS (ECM - BODY GROUND) 
    1. Disconnect the E5 and E6 ECM connectors.
    2. Turn the ignition switch ON.
    3. Measure the voltage of the wire harness side connectors.

      Standard voltage 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION

      Tester Connection Brake Pedal Condition Specified Condition
      E5-4 (STP) - Body ground Depressed 10 to 14 V
      E5-4 (STP) - Body ground Released Below 1 V
      E6-8 (ST1-) - Body ground Depressed Below 1 V
      E6-8 (ST1-) - Body ground Released 10 to 14 V

    A: REPLACE ECM 

    C: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    B: Go to next step 

  4. INSPECT FUSE (STOP) 
    1. Remove the STOP fuse from the driver side junction block ECU.
    2. Measure the resistance of the fuse.

      Standard resistance: 

      Below 1 Ω 

    NG: REPLACE FUSE 

    OK: Go to next step 

  5. CHECK WIRE HARNESS (MAIN BODY ECU - BATTERY) 
    1. Disconnect the D2 ECU connector.
    2. Measure the voltage of the wire harness side connector.

      Standard voltage 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION

      Tester Connection Brake Pedal Condition Specified Condition
      D2-13 (STPI) - Body ground Depressed 10 to 14 V
      D2-13 (STPI) - Body ground Released Below 1 V

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  6. CHECK MAIN BODY ECU (for Driver Side) 
    1. Reconnect the D2 ECU connector.
    2. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard voltage 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION

      Tester Connection Brake Pedal Condition Specified Condition
      D2-12 (STPO) - Body ground Depressed 10 to 14 V
      D2-12 (STPO) - Body ground Released Below 1 V
