DTC P0724 Brake Switch "B" Circuit High


DESCRIPTION

The stop light switch assembly is a duplex system that transmits 2 signals: STP and ST1-. These 2 signals are used by the ECM to monitor whether or not the brake system is working properly.
The purpose of this circuit is to prevent the engine from stalling while driving with the lock-up torque converter clutch on when the brakes are suddenly applied.
When the brake pedal is depressed, the stop light switch sends a signal to the ECM. Then the ECM 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 vehicle is driven in a GO (30 km/h (18.63 mph) or more) and STOP (less than 3 km/h (1.86 mph)) pattern 5 times (2 trip detection logic).

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:
  1. Using the GTS to read the Data List allows the values or states of switches, sensors, actuators and other items to be read without removing any parts. Reading the Data List information early in troubleshooting is one way to save diagnostic time.
  2. Read freeze frame data using the GTS. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can be helpful in determining whether the vehicle was moving or stationary, whether the engine was warmed up or not, whether the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the time of a malfunction.
1.READ VALUE USING GTS (STOP LIGHT SWITCH)

  1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

  1. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

  1. Turn the GTS on.

  1. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Stop Light Switch.

  1. Read the value displayed on the GTS when the brake pedal is depressed and released.

    OK:
    Brake Pedal
    		Display
    Released
    		OFF
    Depressed
    		ON


NG
Go to step 2
OK

CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS (LandCruiser RM000000PDQ18TX.html)

2.CHECK STOP LIGHT SWITCH ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION

  1. Check the stop light switch assembly installation (LandCruiser RM000003QJQ01EX.html).

    OK:
    Stop light switch assembly is installed correctly.


NG
SECURELY REINSTALL STOP LIGHT SWITCH ASSEMBLY
OK


3.CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ECM - STOP LIGHT SWITCH ASSEMBLY)

  1. Disconnect the stop light switch assembly connector.

  1. Disconnect the ECM connector.

  1. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

    Standard Resistance (Check for Open):
    for Automatic Transmission
    Tester Connection
    		Condition
    		Specified Condition
    A85-2 (L) - G56-35 (STP)
    		Always
    		Below 1 Ω
    A85-4 (L) - G56-34 (ST1-)
    		Always
    		Below 1 Ω
    for Manual Transmission
    Tester Connection
    		Condition
    		Specified Condition
    A85-2 (L) - G56-18 (STP)
    		Always
    		Below 1 Ω
    A85-4 (L) - G55-8 (ST1-)
    		Always
    		Below 1 Ω

    Standard Resistance (Check for Short):
    for Automatic Transmission
    Tester Connection
    		Condition
    		Specified Condition
    A85-2 (L) or G56-35 (STP) - Body ground
    		Always
    		10 kΩ or higher
    A85-4 (L) or G56-34 (ST1-) - Body ground
    		Always
    		10 kΩ or higher
    for Manual Transmission
    Tester Connection
    		Condition
    		Specified Condition
    A85-2 (L) or G56-18 (STP) - Body ground
    		Always
    		10 kΩ or higher
    A85-4 (L) or G55-8 (ST1-) - Body ground
    		Always
    		10 kΩ or higher

  1. Reconnect the stop light switch assembly connector.

  1. Reconnect the ECM connector.
