Dtc 51 Stop Light Switch Circuit Malfunction


DESCRIPTION

WIRING DIAGRAM

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

When using intelligent tester:

READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (STOP LIGHT SWITCH)

CHECK ECM (STP, ST1- VOLTAGE)

INSPECT STOP LIGHT SWITCH

CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ECM - STOP LIGHT SWITCH)

When not using intelligent tester:

CHECK STOP LIGHT (OPERATION)

CHECK ECM (STP, ST1- VOLTAGE)

INSPECT STOP LIGHT SWITCH

CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ECM - STOP LIGHT SWITCH)

DTC 51 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 memorize 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.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:
Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can be helpful in determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, whether the engine was warmed up or not, whether the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the time of a malfunction.

When using intelligent tester:

1.READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (STOP LIGHT SWITCH)
  1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

  1. Turn the ignition switch ON.

  1. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Stop Light SW.

    OK:
    Brake Pedal
    Display
    Depressed
    Stop Light SW ON
    Repressed
    Stop Light SW OFF
