Toyota Tacoma (2015-2018) Service Manual: Brake Signal Malfunction (B2284)

Toyota Tacoma (2015-2018) Service Manual / 2gr-fks Starting / Smart Key System(for Start Function) / Brake Signal Malfunction (B2284)

DESCRIPTION

This DTC is stored when the brake signal sent via direct line and the brake signal sent via CAN communication do not match.

HINT:

When the cable is disconnected and reconnected to the negative (-) battery terminal, the power source mode returns to the state it was in before the cable was disconnected.

DTC Code	DTC Detection Condition	Trouble Area	DTC Output Confirmation Operation
B2284	The brake signal sent via direct line and the brake signal sent via CAN communication (1-trip detection logic*) do not match.	AM2 NO. 2 fuse STOP fuse Stop light switch assembly SFI system Certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) Wire harness or connector	Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal, release the brake pedal and wait 20 seconds or more. Then depress the brake pedal for 20 seconds or more.

*: Only detected while a malfunction is present and the engine switch is on (IG)

Vehicle Condition and Fail-safe Function when Malfunction Detected

Vehicle Condition when Malfunction Detected	Fail-safe Function when Malfunction Detected
With the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly in the cabin, even if an engine start operation is performed, the engine does not start (the indicator in the combination meter is not illuminated in green). However, the engine can be started by turning the engine switch on (ACC) and then pressing and holding it. If there is a malfunction when the direct line is on, the engine can be started by pressing the engine switch with the brake pedal released. If there is a malfunction when the direct line is off, the engine cannot be started by pressing the engine switch with the brake pedal depressed.	-

If there is a malfunction when the direct line is off, the engine cannot be started by pressing the engine switch with the brake pedal depressed.

WIRING DIAGRAM

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

HINT:

Check the connector connection to the terminal to make sure that there is no abnormality such as a loose connection, deformation, etc.

NOTICE:

When using the Techstream with the engine switch off, connect the Techstream to the DLC3 and turn a courtesy light switch on and off at intervals of 1.5 seconds or less until communication between the Techstream and the vehicle begins. Then select the vehicle type under manual mode and enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Smart Key. While using the Techstream, periodically turn a courtesy light switch on and off at intervals of 1.5 seconds or less to maintain communication between the Techstream and the vehicle.
The smart key system (for Start Function) uses a multiplex communication system (LIN communication system) and the CAN communication system. Inspect the communication function by following How to Proceed with Troubleshooting.

Troubleshoot the smart key system (for Start Function) after confirming that the communication systems are functioning properly.
Before replacing the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly), refer to the smart key system (for Start Function) precaution (See page ).
Inspect the fuses of circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.
After performing repairs, perform the operation that fulfills the DTC output confirmation operation, and then confirm that no DTCs are output again.
