<RH drive vehicles>

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.

OPERATION

The "ON" signal when the brake pedal is pressed or
the "OFF" signal when the brake pedal is released is
input to the TCL/ASC-ECU (terminal 41).

DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITIONS

Diagnosis code No.1340 is set in the following cases:

• Stop lamp switch is not operating properly and

remains ON state and vehicle speed exceeds
20km/h for more than 6 minutes.

• Stop lamp switch system harness is damaged

and no signal is input to TCL/ASC-ECU.

PROBABLE CAUSES

The most likely causes for this diagnosis code to set
are:

• Malfunction of the stop lamp switch

• Incorrect positioning of stop lamp switch

• Malfunction of bypass resistance integrated in

stop lamp switch

• Damaged wiring harness or connector

• Malfunction of the hydraulic unit (integrated with

TCL/ASC-ECU)

STEP 2. Check whether the diagnosis code is
reset.

CAUTION

Before connecting or disconnecting the MUT-III,
turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF)
position.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Erase the diagnosis code.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF)

position.

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

position.

(2) Connect an ohmmeter to stop lamp switch

terminals 1 and 2, and check whether there is
continuity when the plunger of the stop lamp
switch is pushed in and when it is released.

(3) The stop lamp switch is in good condition if there

is no continuity when the plunger is pushed in to
a depth of within 4 mm from the outer case edge
surface, and if there is continuity when it is
released.

Q: Is the check result normal?
