| DTC Code | DTC Name |
|---|---|
| P0571 | Brake Switch "A" Circuit |
DESCRIPTION
When the brake pedal is depressed, the stop light switch assembly sends a signal to the ECM. When the ECM receives this signal, it cancels cruise control system control of vehicle speed. 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 terminal STP. When the brake is applied, voltage is normally applied to terminal STP of the ECM through the STOP fuse and the stop light switch assembly, and the ECM cancels control of vehicle speed by the cruise control system.
| DTC No. | Detection Item | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|---|
| P0571 | Brake Switch "A" Circuit | When voltage of STP terminal and that of ST1- terminal of ECM are less than 1 V for 0.5 sec. or more. |
