C1426 TOYOTA Description
The Skid Control ECU 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 C1426 code.
