DTC B2284: Brake Signal Malfunction: Description

The power management control ECU receives brake signal information from 2 sources. It receives a signal from the stop light switch assembly via a direct line, and a signal from the skid control ECU assembly via CAN communication. If the information from these 2 sources is inconsistent, this DTC will be stored.

VEHICLE CONDITION AND FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION WHEN MALFUNCTION DETECTED

Vehicle Condition when Malfunction Detected Fail-safe Function when Malfunction Detected
When the key is inside the vehicle, the hybrid control system does not start even though a hybrid control system start operation is performed (the power switch indicator does not illuminate in green). However, if the power switch is pressed and held for a certain period of time after the power source mode is changed to on (ACC), the hybrid control system can be started.
  • When a direct line ON malfunction is present, the hybrid control system can be started by pressing the power switch even if the brakes are off.
  • When a direct line OFF malfunction is present, the hybrid control system cannot be started by pressing the power switch even if the brakes are on.
