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 that the brake pedal is being depressed and released, are detected simultaneously, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the stop light switch 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 |
DTC Detection Drive Pattern | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
Depress and release brake pedal with engine switch on (IG) | Conditions (a), (b) and (c) continue for 0.5 seconds or more (1 trip detection logic): (a) Engine switch on (IG). (b) Brake pedal is released. (c) The STP signal is off when the ST1- signal is off, or the STP signal is on when the ST1- signal is on. | Open or short in stop light switch signal circuit STOP fuse IGN fuse Stop light switch ECM |
