DTC P0571 Stop Light Switch Circuit Malfunction


DESCRIPTION

While driving with the cruise control, if the ECM detects that the brake pedal is depressed, the cruise control operation will be canceled. The stop light switch sends brake pedal status signals to the ECM. When the brake pedal is not depressed, terminal ST1- is equal to the positive (+) battery voltage and terminal STP is below 1 V. When the brake pedal is depressed, the ECM cancels cruise control operation. The ECM outputs this DTC when the voltage of terminals ST1- and STP are both below 1 V for 0.5 seconds or more at the same time. The fail-safe function operates to enable normal driving even if there is a malfunction in the stop light signal circuit.

DTC No.
DTC Detection Condition
Trouble Area
P0571

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

1.READ VALUE USING DATA LIST (STOP LIGHT SWITCH)
  1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

  1. Turn the ignition switch ON, and turn the intelligent tester main switch ON.

  1. Check the Data List for proper functioning of the stop light switch.


ECM (Cruise control):
Item
Measurement Item / Display (Range)
Normal Condition
Diagnostic Note
Stop Light SW M-CPU
Stop light switch signal (Main CPU) / ON or OFF
ON: Brake pedal is depressed
OFF: Brake pedal is released
-
Stop Light SW1 S-CPU
Stop light switch signal (Sub CPU) / ON or OFF
ON: Brake pedal is depressed
OFF: Brake pedal is released
-
Stop Light SW2 S-CPU
Stop light switch signal (Sub CPU) / ON or OFF
ON: Brake pedal is depressed
OFF: Brake pedal is released

2.INSPECT FUSE (STOP, IGN)
  1. Remove the STOP and IGN fuses from the instrument panel junction block.

  1. Measure the resistance of the fuses.

    Standard resistance:
    Below 1 Ω
