P0724/95

DTC Code	DTC Name
P0724/95	Brake Switch "B" Circuit High

DESCRIPTION

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

When the brake pedal is depressed, this switch sends a signal to the TCM. Then the TCM cancels the operation of the lock-up clutch while braking is in progress.

P0724/95

The stop light switch remains ON even when the vehicle repeats 5 cycles of STOP (less than 3 km/h (2 mph)) and GO (30 km/h (19 mph) or more).

(2-trip detection logic)

Short in stop light switch signal circuit
Stop light switch
TCM

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

This DTC indicates that the stop light switch remains ON. When the stop light switch remains ON during "stop and go" driving, the TCM interprets this as a fault in the stop light switch and the MIL comes on and the TCM stores the DTC. The vehicle must stop (less than 3 km/h (2 mph)) and go (30 km/h (19 mph) or more) 5 times for 2 driving cycles in order to detect a malfunction.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

When using intelligent tester:

PROCEDURE

READ VALUE USING DATA LIST (STP SIGNAL)

DATA LIST

Tech Tips

Using the intelligent tester 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.

Turn the ignition switch off.
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
Turn on the tester.
Select the item "Powertrain / ECT / Data List".

Follow the instructions on the tester and read the Data List.

INSPECT STOP LIGHT SWITCH ASSEMBLY

Remove the stop light switch assembly.

Measure the resistance.

Standard resistance

Tester Connection	Switch Position	Specified Condition
1 - 2	Switch pin free	Below 1 Ω
1 - 2	Switch pin pushed in	10 kΩ or higher
3 - 4	Switch pin free	10 kΩ or higher
3 - 4	Switch pin pushed in	Below 1 Ω

CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (STOP LIGHT SWITCH ASSEMBLY - TCM)

Install the stop light switch assembly.

Measure the voltage when the brake pedal is depressed and released.

Standard voltage
