DTC C1249/49: Open in Stop Light Switch Circuit: Procedure

1. Remove the STOP fuse from the main body ECU.
2. Measure the resistance of the fuse.

   Standard resistance

   Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
   STOP fuse	Always	Below 1 Ω

NG → REPLACE FUSE 

OK: Go to next step 

1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
3. Select the Data List mode on the Techstream.

2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

   Standard resistance

   Tester Connection	Switch Condition	Specified Condition
   1 - 2	Switch pin free	Below 1 Ω
   1 - 2	Switch pin pushed in	10 kΩ or higher

NG → REPLACE STOP LIGHT SWITCH 

OK: Go to next step 

1. Disconnect the A21 ECU connector.
2. Disconnect the A35 switch connector.
3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

   Standard resistance

   Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
   A21-25 (STP) - A35-1	Always	Below 1 Ω
   A21-25 (STP) - Body ground	Always	2 kΩ or lower

NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

OK: Go to next step 

1. Disconnect the A19 and A21 ECU connectors.
2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

   Standard resistance

   Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
   A19-1 (GND) - Body ground	Always	Below 1 Ω
   A21-1 (GND4) - Body ground	Always	Below 1 Ω

NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

OK: Go to next step 

1. Clear the DTC. Refer toDTC CHECK / CLEAR .
2. Start the engine.
3. Depress the brake pedal several times to test the stop light circuit.
4. Check if the same DTC is recorded. Refer toDTC CHECK / CLEAR .

   HINT: 

   Reinstall the sensors, connectors, etc. and restore the vehicle to its prior condition before rechecking for DTCs.

   RESULT
   
   

   Result	Proceed to
   DTC (C1249/49) is not output	A
   DTC (C1249/49) is output	B

   HINT: 

   If troubleshooting has been carried out according to the "PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE", refer back to the table and proceed to the next step. Refer toPROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE .
