Inspection Procedure

  1. INSPECT STOP LIGHT SWITCH OPERATION 
    1. Check that the stop light turns on when the brake pedal is depressed, and goes off when the brake pedal is released.

      OK : The stop light turns on/turns off normally. 

      HINT:

      The stop light uses the circuit on the terminal STP side of the hybrid vehicle control ECU.

    NG : GO TO STOP LIGHT SWITCH CIRCUIT 

    OK : GO TO NEXT STEP 

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

      Item Measurement Item / Display (Range) Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      STP LIGHT SW1 M Stop light switch signal (Main CPU)/ON or OFF ON: Brake pedal is depressed
      OFF: Brake pedal is released
      -
      STP LIGHT SW1 S Stop light switch signal (Sub CPU)/ON or OFF ON: Brake pedal is depressed
      OFF: Brake pedal is released
      -
      STP LIGHT SW2 S Stop light switch signal (Sub CPU)/ON or OFF ON: Brake pedal is depressed
      OFF: Brake pedal is released
      -

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

    OK : REPLACE HYBRID VEHICLE CONTROL ECU 

    NG : GO TO NEXT STEP 

  3. INSPECT STOP LIGHT SWITCH ASSEMBLY 
    1. Remove the stop light switch.
    2. Measure the resistance of the switch.

  5. CHECK HYBRID VEHICLE CONTROL ECU 
    1. Reconnect the S16 switch connector.
    2. Disconnect the H15 ECU connector.
    3. Turn the power switch ON (IG).
    4. Measure the voltage of the wire harness side connector.
