DTC P0724 Brake Switch "B" Circuit High


DESCRIPTION

The purpose of this circuit is to prevent the engine from stalling while driving in lock-up condition when brakes are suddenly applied.
When the brake pedal is depressed, this switch sends a signal to the TCM. Then the TCM cancels the operation of the lock-up clutch while braking is in progress.

DTC No.
DTC Detection Condition
Trouble Area
P0724
The stop light switch remains ON even when the vehicle is driven in a STOP (less than 3 km/h (2 mph)) and GO (30 km/h (19 mph) or more) fashion 5 times. (2-trip detection logic)
  1. Short in stop light switch signal circuit
  2. Stop light switch
  3. TCM

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

This DTC indicates that the stop light switch remains ON. When the stop light switch remains ON during "stop and go" driving, the TCM interprets this as a fault in the stop light switch, illuminates the MIL, and stores the DTC. The vehicle must stop (less than 3 km/h (2 mph)) and go (30 km/h (19 mph) or more) five times for two consecutive driving cycles in order to set this DTC.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

1.READ VALUE USING DATA LIST (STP SIGNAL)
HINT:
According to the Data List displayed on the intelligent tester, you can read the value of switches, sensors, actuators and other items without removing any parts. Reading the Data List as the first step in troubleshooting is one method to save labor time.
  1. Turn the ignition switch off.

  1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

  1. Turn the ignition switch on.

  1. Turn on the tester.

  1. Enter the following items: "Powertrain / ECT / Data List".

  1. According to the display on the tester, read "Data List".

    Standard:

    Item
    Measurement Item/
    Range (display)
    Normal Condition
    STOP LIGHT SW
    Stop light switch status/
    ON or OFF
    1. Brake pedal is depressed: ON
    2. Brake pedal is released: OFF
    NOTICE:
    In the table above, the conditions listed under "Normal Condition" are reference conditions. Do not depend solely on these reference conditions when deciding whether a part is faulty.
