Code No.C1340: Abnormal stop lamp switch circuit



caution
  • If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an incorrect diagnosis code may be set. Prior to this diagnosis, diagnose the CAN bus lines (Refer to GROUP 54C - CAN Bus Diagnostics Table ).
  • Whenever ECU is replaced, ensure that the CAN bus lines are normal.

OPERATION




DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITIONS


When the vehicle has been driving at a vehicle speed of 15 km/h or more for 15 minutes or longer with the stop lamp switch turned "ON".

PROBABLE CAUSES


Current trouble
Past trouble

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE


STEP 1. M.U.T.-III CAN bus diagnosis


Use the M.U.T.-III to diagnose the CAN bus lines.

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 3.
Repair the CAN bus lines (Refer to GROUP 54C - CAN Bus Diagnostics Table ). On completion, go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Diagnosis code recheck after resetting CAN bus lines


(1)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
(2)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3)Erase the diagnosis code.
(4)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
(5)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(6)Check if the diagnosis code is set.

Q. Is diagnosis code No. C1340 set?

Go to Step 3.
This diagnosis is complete.

STEP 3. Check the stop lamp operation


Check the stop lamp operation when the brake pedal is depressed. Check that the stop lamp and high-mount stop lamp illuminates when the brake pedal is depressed and that it goes out when the brake pedal is released.
OK:
    When the brake pedal is released: Not illuminate
    When the brake pedal is depressed: Illuminate

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 6.
Go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Check for stop lamp switch installation


Check the stop lamp switch installation (Refer to GROUP 35A - On-vehicle Service, Brake Pedal Check and Adjustment ).

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 5.
Install the stop lamp switch correctly (Refer to GROUP 35A - On-vehicle Service, Brake Pedal Check and Adjustment ). Then go to Step 9.

STEP 5. Stop lamp switch continuity check


(1)Check the stop lamp switch connector.
(2)Refer to GROUP 35A - Inspection, Stop Lamp Switch Check .

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 6.
Replace the stop lamp switch (Refer to GROUP 35A - Brake Pedal ). Then go to Step 9.

STEP 6. Measure the voltage at the ETACS-ECU connector


(1)Disconnect the connector.
(2)Depress the brake pedal.
(3)Measure the voltage between the terminal BKLP and earth.
OK: Approximately system voltage

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 7.
Repair the defective connector or the wiring harness. Then go to Step 9.

STEP 7. M.U.T.-III other system data list



  • Check the data lists of the ETACS-ECU (Refer to GROUP 54A - Troubleshooting - Data List Reference Table ).
  • Item 108: Stop lamp switch
OK: ON (Depress the brake pedal), OFF (Release the brake pedal)

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 8.
Replace the ETACS-ECU (Refer to GROUP 54A - ETACS-ECU ). Then go to Step 9.

STEP 8. Check whether the diagnosis code is set again.


(1)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
(2)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3)Erase the diagnosis code.
(4)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
(5)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(6)Drive the vehicle at 15 km/h or more for 15 minutes.
(7)Check if the diagnosis code is set.

Q. Is diagnosis code No. C1340 set?

Replace the hydraulic unit assembly (integrated with ABS-ECU) (Refer to ). Then go to Step 9.
The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).

STEP 9. Check whether the diagnosis code is set again.


(1)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
(2)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3)Erase the diagnosis code.
(4)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
(5)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(6)Drive the vehicle at 15 km/h or more for 15 minutes.
(7)Check if the diagnosis code is set.

Q. Is diagnosis code No. C1340 set?

Return to Step 1.
The procedure is complete.
