| DTC Code | DTC Name |
|---|---|
| P0724 | Brake Switch "B" Circuit High |
DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this 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, this switch sends a signal to the TCM. The TCM then cancels the operation of the lock-up clutch while braking is in progress.
| DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|
| P0724 | The stop light switch remains on even when vehicle is driven in GO (30 km/h (18.65 mph) or more) and STOP (less than 3 km/h (1.86 mph)) pattern 5 times (2 trip detection logic) |
|
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 TCM interprets this as a fault in the stop light switch, then illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC. The vehicle must GO (30 km/h (18.65 mph) or more) and STOP (less than 3 km/h (1.86 mph)) 5 times for 2 driving cycles in order for the DTC to be output.

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.
Warm up the engine.
Turn the engine switch off.
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the engine switch on (IG).
Turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / ECT / Data List / Stop Light Switch.
According to the display on the GTS, read the Data List.
| Tester Display | Measurement Item/Range | Normal Condition | Diagnostic Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stop Light Switch | Stop light switch status/ ON or OFF |
