DTC P0504 Brake Switch "A" / "B" Correlation
DESCRIPTION
In this system, the signals of the duplex type stop light switch (STP and ST1-) are used to judge whether the brake system is abnormal. When signals that indicate depressing and releasing the brake pedal are detected simultaneously, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction of the stop light switch.
- Normal conditions are shown in the table below.
Signal | Brake Pedal Released | In Transition | Brake Pedal Depressed |
STP | OFF | ON | ON |
ST1- | ON | ON | OFF |
DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
P0504 |
Conditions (a), (b) and (c) continue for 0.5 seconds or more: (1 trip detection logic) (a) Engine switch is ON (IG) (b) Brake pedal is released (c) STP signal is OFF when ST1- signal is OFF |

WIRING DIAGRAM

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
- After replacing the ECM, the new ECM needs registration and initialization .
1.CHECK STOP LIGHT CIRCUIT |
Check if the stop lights turn ON and OFF when the brake pedal is depressed and released.
- OK:
- Stop lights turn ON and OFF normally.
| REPAIR OR REPLACE STOP LIGHT SWITCH CIRCUIT |
|
|
2.READ VALUE OF INTELLIGENT TESTER (STP SIGNAL) |
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the engine switch ON (IG) and turn the intelligent tester ON.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / Stop Light Switch.
Check the result.
- OK:
Brake Pedal | Specified Condition |
Depressed | STP signal ON |
Released | STP signal OFF |
| CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS |
|
|
3.CHECK STOP LIGHT SWITCH ASSEMBLY |
Remove the stop light switch.
Measure the resistance of the switch.
- Standard resistance:
Tester Connection | Switch Condition | Specified Condition |
1 - 2 | Pin not pushed | Below 1 Ω |
3 - 4 | Pin not pushed | 10 kΩ or higher |
1 - 2 | Pin pushed | 10 kΩ or higher |
3 - 4 | Pin pushed | Below 1 Ω |
| REPLACE STOP LIGHT SWITCH ASSEMBLY |
|
|
4.CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (STOP LIGHT SWITCH - ECM) |
Disconnect the A22 stop light switch connector.
Disconnect the A49 ECM connector.
Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.
- Standard resistance:
Tester Connection | Specified Condition |
A22-1 - STP (A49-35) | Below 1 Ω |
A22-4 - ST1- (A49-34) | Below 1 Ω |
A22-1 or STP (A49-35) - Body ground | 10 kΩ or higher |
A22-4 or ST1- (A49-34) - Body ground | 10 kΩ or higher |
| REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR |
