P0504

4GR-FSE ENGINE CONTROL: SFI SYSTEM: P0504: Brake Switch "A" / "B" Correlation
P0504 - Brake Switch "A" / "B" Correlation

DESCRIPTION

The stop light switch assembly is a duplex system that transmits 2 signals: STP and ST1-. These 2 signals are used by the ECM to monitor whether or not the brake system is working properly. If both signals, which indicate the brake pedal is being depressed or released, are detected simultaneously, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the stop light switch assembly and sets the DTC.

HINT
The normal signal conditions are as shown in the table below.





- [OFF] denotes ground potential.
- [ON] denotes battery potential (+B).
- On the Techstream, both the Data List items Stop Light Switch and ST1 are ON when the brake pedal is depressed because the ST1 indication characteristic is opposite to the Stop Light Switch indication.





CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN





1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

2. Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the Techstream on.

3. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure) Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

4. Turn the engine switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.

5. Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the Techstream on [A].

6. Depress and release the brake pedal [B].

7. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [C].

8. Read Pending DTCs.

HINT
- If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
- If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.

9. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.

10. Input the DTC: P0504.

11. Check the DTC judgment result.





HINT
- If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
- If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.

12. If the test result is INCOMPLETE or UNKNOWN and no pending DTC is output, perform a universal trip and check for permanent DTCs Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

HINT
- If a permanent DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
- If no permanent DTC is output, the system is normal.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.

HINT
- Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
- STP signal conditions can be checked using the Techstream.
(1) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(2) Turn the engine switch on (IG).
(3) Turn the Techstream on.
(4) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / Stop Light Switch and ST1.
(5) Check the Data List indication when the brake pedal is depressed and released.






PROCEDURE

1. CHECK STOP LIGHT SWITCH ASSEMBLY (TERMINAL VOLTAGE)

(a) Disconnect the stop light switch assembly connector.





(b) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Voltage:





Text in Illustration





(c) Reconnect the stop light switch assembly connector.

NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (STOP LIGHT SWITCH ASSEMBLY - BATTERY)
OK -- Continue to next step.

2. CHECK STOP LIGHT SWITCH ASSEMBLY (TERMINAL VOLTAGE)

(a) Disconnect the stop light switch assembly connector.

(b) Turn the engine switch on (IG).

(c) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Voltage:





(d) Reconnect the stop light switch assembly connector.

NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (STOP LIGHT SWITCH ASSEMBLY - IG2 RELAY)
OK -- Continue to next step.

3. INSPECT STOP LIGHT SWITCH ASSEMBLY

(a) Remove the stop light switch assembly.





(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:





(c) Reinstall the stop light switch assembly.

NG -- REPLACE STOP LIGHT SWITCH ASSEMBLY Removal
OK -- Continue to next step.

4. CHECK ECM (STP AND ST1- VOLTAGE)

(a) Disconnect the ECM connectors.





(b) Turn the engine switch on (IG).

(c) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Voltage:





(d) Reconnect the ECM connectors.

NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (STOP LIGHT SWITCH ASSEMBLY - ECM)

OK -- REPLACE ECM Removal
