CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

The Torque Convener Clutch (TCC) brake switch indicates brake pedal status to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The normally-closed switch supplies battery voltage on circuit 420 to the PCM. Applying the brake pedal opens the brake switch, interrupting voltage to the PCM. While the brake pedal is not applied, the PCM receives constant voltage. If the PCM receives 0 volts at the brake switch input with the Torque Convener Clutch engaged, the PCM de-energizes the Torque Convener Clutch Solenoid Valve (TCC Sol. Valve).

When the PCM detects an open brake switch (stuck ON) during accelerations, then DTC P0719 sets. DTC P0719 is a type D DTC.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC

^ No Vehicle Speed Sensor Assembly DTC P0502

^ The vehicle speed is less than 8 km/h (5 mph), then the vehicle speed is 8-32 km/h (5-20 mph) for 4 seconds, then the vehicle speed remains greater than 32 km/h (20 mph) for at least 6 seconds.

^ The above conditions must occur 7 times, with the brake switch ON for 15 minutes, without a brake switch status change of 2 seconds.

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS

The PCM does NOT illuminate the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL).

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE MIL/DTC

A scan tool can clear the DTC from the PCM history. The PCM clears the DTC fr6m the PCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without a failure reponed.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS

^ Inspect the TCC brake switch for proper adjustment.

^ Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections at the PCM. Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections at the TCC brake switch connector. Look for the following conditions:

- A bent terminal

- A backed out terminal

- A damaged terminal

- Poor terminal tension

- A chafed wire

- A broken wire inside the insulation

^ When diagnosing for an intermittent short or open condition, massage the wiring harness while watching the test equipment for a change.

TEST DESCRIPTION

The numbers below refer to the Step numbers on the diagnostic table.

2. If you disconnect the brake switch connector and observe the brake switch status change, then a brake switch problem is the only possible cause of the DTC.

3. A short to ground in circuit 439 would open the ERLS fuse.

5. If the brake switch is properly adjusted, then you must replace the brake switch.

8. Replace the PCM only after you have completed the preceding diagnostic steps.
