DTC P0504 Brake Switch "A" / "B" Correlation


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 the intelligent tester.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:
  1. Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. 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.
  2. STP signal conditions can be checked using the intelligent tester.
    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and turn the tester on.
    3. Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Stop Light Switch.
    4. Check the STP signal when the brake pedal is depressed and released.

      Brake Pedal Operation
      		Specified Condition
      Depressed
      		STP signal ON
      Released
      		STP signal OFF
1.CHECK STOP LIGHT SWITCH (TERMINAL VOLTAGE)

  1. Disconnect the A19 stop light switch connector.

  1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.

  1. Measure the voltage between the terminals of the stop light switch connector and body ground.

    Standard voltage:
    Tester Connection
    		Specified Condition
    B (A19-2) - Body ground
    		9 to 14 V
    B (A19-4) - Body ground
    		9 to 14 V

  1. Reconnect the stop light switch connector.

  1. Remove the stop light switch.

  1. Measure the resistance between the terminals.

    Standard resistance:
    Tester Connection
    		Switch Position
    		Specified Condition
    1 - 2
    		Switch pin not pushed
    		Below 1 Ω
    Switch pin pushed
    		10 kΩ or higher
    3 - 4
    		Switch pin not pushed
    		10 kΩ or higher
    Switch pin pushed
    		Below 1 Ω

  1. Reinstall the stop light switch.

  1. Disconnect the A24 ECM connector.

  1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.

  1. Measure the voltage between terminals ST1- and STP of the A24 ECM connector and body ground.

    Standard voltage:
    Tester Connection
    		Brake Pedal Operation
    		Specified Condition
    ST1- (A24-35) - Body ground
    		Released
    		9 to 14 V
    Depressed
    		Below 1.5 V
    STP (A24-36) - Body ground
    		Released
    		Below 1.5 V
    Depressed
    		9 to 14 V

  1. Reconnect the ECM connector.
