1GR-FE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM – SFI SYSTEM

DESCRIPTION

The stop light switch 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 and sets the DTC.
HINT:
The normal conditions are as shown in the table below. The signals can be read using an intelligent tester.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:
Read freeze frame data using an intelligent tester. Freeze frame data record the engine condition when
malfunctions are detected. 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.
