ECD SYSTEM(w/ DPF), Diagnostic DTC:P0504

DTC Code DTC Name
P0504 Brake Switch "A" / "B" Correlation

DESCRIPTION

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

Tech Tips

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

Signal (ECM Terminal) Brake Pedal Released In Transition Brake Pedal Depressed
STP OFF ON ON
ST1- ON ON OFF

  • [OFF] denotes ground potential.

  • [ON] denotes battery potential (+B).

  • On the GTS, 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.

Depress and release brake pedal with engine switch on (IG)

Conditions (a), (b) and (c) continue for 0.5 seconds or more (1 trip detection logic):

(a) Engine switch on (IG).

(b) Brake pedal is released.

(c) The STP signal is off when the ST1- signal is off, or the STP signal is on when the ST1- signal is on.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Tech Tips


  • Read freeze frame data using the GTS. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

  • Stop light switch conditions can be checked using the GTS.


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

    3. Turn the GTS on.

    4. Enter the following menus: Engine and ECT / Data List / Stop Light Switch.

    5. Check Stop Light Switch when the brake pedal is depressed and released.

Brake Pedal Operation Specified Condition
Depressed ON
Released OFF
