Cruise Control Diagnosis



DTC P0719 (non 2.0L - With Manual Transmission)






Circuit Description

The cruise release switch is a normally closed switch. The stop lamp switch signal circuit is a normally open switch. When the brake pedal is released, the engine control module (ECM) detects a high voltage signal on the torque converter clutch (TCC) brake switch/cruise control release signal circuit and a low signal voltage signal on the stop lamp switch signal circuit.

DTC Descriptor

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:

DTC P0719 Brake Switch Circuit Low Voltage

Conditions for Running the DTC

* The engine is ON.
* The traction control system or the antilock brake system are not active and have not failed.
* The vehicle has accelerated from 0 km/h (0 mph) to 60 km/h (37 mph) 3 times in one ignition cycle.
* This diagnostic runs continuously once the conditions for running the DTC has been achieved.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

When the brake pedal is released, the ECM detects a low voltage signal on the stop lamp switch signal circuit and a low voltage signal on the TCC brake switch/cruise control release signal circuit.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* The ECM stores the DTC information into memory when the diagnostic runs and fails.
* The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will not illuminate.
* The ECM records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The ECM stores this information in the Failure Records.
* The cruise control system is disabled.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* A last test failed, or current DTC, clears when the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
* A history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other non-emission related diagnostic.
* Use a scan tool in order to clear the DTC.

Diagnostic Aids

In order to avoid a misdiagnosis, inspect for proper adjustment of the cruise control release switch. Refer to Cruise Release Switch Adjustment.
