СИСТЕМА SFI, Diagnostic DTC:P0504

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

DESCRIPTION

The stop light switch assembly 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 the brake pedal is being depressed and released, are detected simultaneously, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the stop light switch assembly and stores this 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.

DTC No. Detection Item DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area MIL Memory
P0504 Brake Switch "A" / "B" Correlation

Conditions (a) and (b) are met for 0.5 seconds or more (1 trip detection logic):

(a) Engine switch on (IG)

(b) STP signal off when ST1- signal off

  • Open or short in stop light switch signal circuit

  • Stop light switch assembly

  • No. 1 integration relay

  • ECM

 Does not come on DTC stored

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note

Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.

Tech Tips


  • Stop light switch assembly 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: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / All Data / Stop Light Switch and ST1.

    5. Check the Data List indication when the brake pedal is depressed and released.

      Brake Pedal Operation Stop Light Switch ST1
      Depressed ON ON
      Released OFF OFF

  • Read freeze frame data using the GTS. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
