DESCRIPTION The stop light
switch assembly is a duplex system that transmits two signals: STP and
ST1-. These two signals are used by the ECM to monitor whether or not
the brake system is working properly. If the signals, which indicate the
brake pedal is being depressed and released, are detected
simultaneously, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the stop
light switch assembly and stores this DTC. HINT: The normal signal conditions are as shown in the table below. |
Signal (ECM Terminal) | Brake Pedal Released |
In Transition | Brake Pedal Depressed | |
STP | OFF |
ON | ON | |
ST1- | ON |
ON | OFF |
- [OFF] denotes ground potential.
- [ON] denotes battery potential (+B).
On the Techstream, Data List item Stop Light SW is ON when the brake pedal is depressed. |

 CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
NOTICE: Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.
HINT:
- Stop light switch assembly conditions can be checked using the Techstream.
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the engine switch on (IG).
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / Stop Light SW.
- Check the Data List indication when the brake pedal is depressed and released.

- Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and
driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is
stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if
the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or
not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the
time the malfunction occurred.
