Code C1426 Scion Description

The Skid Control ECU (Brake Actuator Assembly) receives stop light switch signals and uses them to determine whether or not the brakes are applied. The Skid Control ECU has a detection circuit that it uses to detect a short in the stop light input line or the ground line of the stop light circuit with the stop light switch on (brake pedal depressed). If the Skid Control ECU detects a short in this circuit, it will store the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) C1426.
