DTC P0504 Brake Switch "A" / "B" Correlation |
DESCRIPTION
The stop light switch assembly 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 assembly and stores the DTC.- HINT:
- The normal signal conditions are as shown in the table below.
Signal (ECM Terminal)
| Brake Pedal Released
| In Transition
| Brake Pedal Depressed
|
STP
| OFF
| ON
| ON
|
ST1-
| ON
| ON
| OFF
|
- [OFF] denotes ground potential.
- [ON] denotes battery potential (+B).
- On the intelligent tester, the Data List items Stop Light Switch and ST1 are both ON when the brake pedal is depressed because the characteristics of ST1 indication are the opposite of the characteristics of Stop Light Switch indication.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
- NOTICE:
- Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.
- HINT:
- Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records 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.
- Stop light switch conditions can be checked using the intelligent tester.
- Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- Turn the tester on.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Stop Light Switch and ST1.
- Check the Data List indication when the brake pedal is depressed and released.
