P0724

Circuit Description
The TCC brake switch is used to indicate brake pedal status. The normally opened brake switch signal voltage supplies a B+ signal on circuit GRN/YEL to the PCM when the brakes are applied. The PCM uses this signal to deenergize the TCC solenoid when the brakes are applied.
This DTC detects an open brake switch during decelerations.
This is a type "D" DTC.

Conditions For Setting The DTC
- No OSS DTCs P0722 or P0723.
- The PCM detects an open brake switch/circuit (0 volts) during decelerations and the following events occur seven consecutive times: vehicle speed is greater than 32 km/h (20 mph) for 4 seconds; then vehicle speed is between 8 and 32 km/h (5 and 20 mph) for 4 seconds; then vehicle speed is less than 8 km/h (5 mph).

Action Taken When The DTC Sets
- The PCM will not illuminate the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL).

Conditions For Clearing The DTC
- The DTC can be cleared from the PCM history by using a scan tool.
- The DTC will also be cleared from history when the vehicle has achieved 40 warmup cycles without a failure reported.
- The PCM will cancel the DTC default actions when the fault no longer exists and the ignition is cycled "OFF long enough to power down the PCM.

Diagnostic Aids
- Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connection at the PCM. Look for possible bent, backed out, deformed or damaged terminals. Check for weak terminal tension as well. Also check for a chafed wire that could short to bare metal or other wiring. Inspect for a broken wire inside the insulation.
- When diagnosing for a possible intermittent short or open condition, move the wiring harness while observing test equipment for a change.
- Check customer driving habits and/or unusual traffic conditions (i.e. stop and go, expressway).
- Check brake switch for proper mounting and adjustment.
