DTC P1520 Stop Light Switch Circuit Malfunction


DESCRIPTION

In this system, the signal of the stop light switch is used to judge whether the stop light system is abnormal or not.
The stop light switch has a duplex system (signals STP and ST1-) to recognize the abnormality when the signals of depressing and releasing the brake pedal are detected simultaneously.

HINT:
The normal condition is shown in the table below.

Conditions (a), (b) and (c) continue for 0.5 seconds or more(1 trip detection logic):
(a) Ignition switch is ON.
(b) Brake pedal is released.
(c) STP signal is off when ST1- signal is off.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.
HINT:
Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
