### ELECTRONIC CONTROLLED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SYSTEM > Stop Light Switch Circuit

## for Preparation Click here

## DESCRIPTION

The purpose of this circuit is to prevent the engine from stalling while driving in the lock-up condition and the brakes are suddenly applied.
When the brake pedal is depressed, this switch sends a signal to the TCM. Then the TCM cancels the operation of the lock-up clutch during braking.

## INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:

  Using the intelligent tester's Data List allows switch, sensor, actuator and other item values to be read without removing any parts. Reading the Data List early in troubleshooting is one way to save time.

1. Warm up the engine.
2. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
3. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
4. Turn the ignition switch ON and push the tester main switch ON.
5. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / ECT / Data List.
6. Follow the instructions on the tester and read the Data List.

Stop Light Switch

Stop light switch status/
ON or OFF

1. Brake pedal is depressed: ON
2. Brake pedal is released: OFF

NOTICE:

  In the table above, the values listed under "Normal Condition" are reference values. Do not depend solely on these reference values when deciding whether a part is faulty or not.

1.INSPECT STOP LIGHT SWITCH

1. Remove the stop light switch.

1. Measure the resistance of the switch.

   Standard resistance:

     Tester Connection | Switch Condition | Specified Condition
     1 - 2 | Pin pushed (pedal released) | 10 kΩ or higher
     1 - 2 | Pin not pushed (pedal depressed) | Below 1 Ω

| NG |

REPLACE STOP LIGHT SWITCH

OK |

2.CHECK WIRE HARNESS (TCM - BATTERY)

1. Measure the voltage of the wire harness side connector.

   Standard voltage:

     Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition
     T17-14 (STP) - Body ground | Brake pedal is depressed | 10 to 14 V
     T17-14 (STP) - Body ground | Brake pedal is released | Below 1 V

| NG |

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR

OK |
