Toyota Tacoma (2015-2018) Service Manual: Stop Light Relay Circuit (C1A4B)

Toyota Tacoma (2015-2018) Service Manual / Pre-collision / Pre-collision System / Stop Light Relay Circuit (C1A4B)

DESCRIPTION

The skid control ECU (master cylinder solenoid)*1 or skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly)*2 sends a stop light operation request signal to the stop light relay (stop light switch assembly). If the skid control ECU (master cylinder solenoid)*1 or skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly)*2 detects a malfunction in the stop light relay circuit, the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly stores DTC C1A4B.

*1: for Hydraulic Brake Booster
*2: for Vacuum Brake Booster

DTC No.	Detection Item	DTC Detection Condition	Trouble Area
C1A4B	Stop Light Relay Circuit	While the ignition switch is ON, the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly receives a stop light relay circuit malfunction signal from the skid control ECU (master cylinder solenoid)1 or skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly)2 for 1 second or more.	Vehicle stability control system Millimeter wave radar sensor assembly

*1: for Hydraulic Brake Booster
*2: for Vacuum Brake Booster

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

When replacing the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly, always replace it with a new one. If a millimeter wave radar sensor assembly which was installed to another vehicle is used, the information stored in the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly will not match the information from the vehicle. As a result, a DTC may be stored.
If the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly has been replaced, be sure to perform millimeter wave radar sensor assembly adjustment.

PROCEDURE

1.	CHECK FOR DTCs (VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM)

HINT:

Pre-collision system DTC C1A4B may be stored due to a malfunction in the vehicle stability control system. Therefore, it is necessary to check for and troubleshoot vehicle stability control system DTCs first.

(a) Check for DTCs.
