AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P070312

DTC Code DTC Name
P070312 Brake Switch "B" Circuit Short to Battery

DESCRIPTION

The purpose of the stop light switch signal circuit is to prevent the engine from stalling when the brakes are suddenly applied while driving in the lock-up condition.

When the brake pedal is depressed, the stop light switch assembly sends a signal to the ECM. The ECM then cancels the operation of the lock-up clutch while braking is in progress.

  1. The engine switch is on (IG) and battery voltage is 8 V or more.

  2. The stop light switch remains on.

  3. The vehicle is driven in a GO (30 km/h (19 mph) or more) and STOP (less than 3 km/h (2 mph)) pattern 5 times

SAE Code:

P0724

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

This DTC indicates that the stop light switch is remaining on. When the stop light switch remains on during GO and STOP driving, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction of the stop light switch assembly, illuminates the MIL and stores this DTC. The vehicle must GO (30 km/h (19 mph) or more) and STOP (less than 3 km/h (2 mph)) 5 times for 2 consecutive driving cycles in order for this DTC to be stored.

Tech Tips

After performing repair, clear the DTCs and perform the following procedure to check that DTCs are not output.


  1. Repeat the following procedure 5 times:

    CAUTION:

    Perform the following procedure while strictly observing all traffic laws and speed limits.


    • Accelerate the vehicle to 30 km/h (19 mph) or more, depress the brake pedal and decelerate the vehicle to 3 km/h (2 mph) or less.

  2. Turn the engine switch off.

  3. Perform step (1) again.

  4. Check for DTCs again.

  1. DATA LIST

    Note

    In the table below, the values listed under "Normal Condition" are reference values. Do not depend solely on these reference values when deciding whether a part is faulty or not.

    Tech Tips

    Using the GTS to read the Data List allows the values or states of switches, sensors, actuators and other items to be read without removing any parts. This non-intrusive inspection can be very useful because intermittent conditions or signals may be discovered before parts or wiring is disturbed. Reading the Data List information early in troubleshooting is one way to save diagnostic time.


    1. Warm up the engine.

    2. Turn the engine switch off.

    3. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    4. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

    5. Turn the GTS on.

    6. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Transmission / Data List / Stop Light SW.

    7. Read the Data List according to the display on the GTS.
