ASCD BRAKE SWITCH

ASCD BRAKE SWITCH

Component Description

INFOID:0000000009481627

When the brake pedal is depressed, brake pedal position switch is turned OFF and stop lamp switch is turned

ON. ECM detects the state of the brake pedal by two types of input (ON/OFF signal).

Refer to 

EC-493, "System Description"

 for the ASCD function.

Diagnosis Procedure

 Without CONSULT

1. Turn ignition switch ON.

2. Check voltage between ECM terminal 126 and ground under the following conditions.

OK or NG

OK

>> GO TO 2.

NG

>> GO TO 3.

2.

CHECK OVERALL FUNCTION-II

 With CONSULT

Check “BRAKE SW2” indication in “DATA MONITOR” mode. 

 Without CONSULT

Check voltage between ECM terminal 122 and ground under the following conditions.

OK or NG

OK

>> INSPECTION END

NG

>> GO TO 7.

3.

CHECK BRAKE PEDAL POSITION SWITCH POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT

1. Turn ignition switch OFF.

2. Disconnect brake pedal position switch (1) harness connector.

-

Stop lamp switch (2)

3. Turn ignition switch ON.

4. Check voltage between brake pedal position switch terminal 1 and ground with CONSULT or tester.

OK or NG

OK

>> GO TO 5.

NG

>> GO TO 4.

4.

DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART

Check the following.

• Fuse block (J/B) connector E160

• 10 A fuse (No.12)

• Harness for open or short between brake pedal position switch and fuse

>> Repair open circuit or short to ground in harness or connectors.

5.

CHECK BRAKE PEDAL POSITION SWITCH INPUT SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR OPEN AND SHORT

1. Turn ignition switch OFF.

2. Disconnect ECM harness connector.

3. Check harness continuity between ECM terminal 126 and brake pedal position switch terminal 2.

Refer to Wiring Diagram.

4. Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.
OK or NG

OK

>> GO TO 6.

NG

>> Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.

6.

CHECK BRAKE PEDAL POSITION SWITCH

Refer to 

EC-922, "Component Inspection"

 .

OK or NG

OK

>> GO TO 11.

NG

>> Replace brake pedal position switch. Refer to 

BR-20, "Exploded View"

.

7.

CHECK STOP LAMP SWITCH POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT

1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
