| P0571 | Brake Switch "A" Circuit |
DESCRIPTION
Condition 1:
When the brakes are applied by the dynamic radar cruise control system, the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) operates the stop light switch assembly (stop light control relay) to illuminate the stop lights.
If the hybrid vehicle control ECU receives a stop light control relay malfunction signal from the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly), DTC P0571 is stored.
Condition 2:
When the brake pedal is depressed, the stop light switch assembly sends a signal to the hybrid vehicle control ECU. When the hybrid vehicle control ECU receives this signal, it cancels the dynamic radar cruise control. The fail-safe function operates to enable normal driving even if there is a malfunction in the stop light signal circuit. The cancellation condition occurs when voltage is applied to the terminal STP. When the brake is applied, voltage is normally applied to the terminal STP of the hybrid vehicle control ECU through the STOP fuse and stop light switch assembly, and the hybrid vehicle control ECU turns the dynamic radar cruise control system off.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
Note
Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.
Before replacing the hybrid vehicle control ECU, refer to Service Bulletin.
PROCEDURE
CHECK FOR DTCs (PRE-CRASH SAFETY SYSTEM)
Check for DTCs of the pre-crash safety system.
Tech Tips
When DTC P0571 is stored by the dynamic radar cruise control system, DTC C1A4B may be stored by the pre-crash safety system. Therefore, if DTC P0571 is stored, inspect the pre-crash safety system first.
