ECD SYSTEM(w/ Glow Plug Controller), 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 both signals, which indicate whether the brake pedal is being depressed or released, are detected simultaneously, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the stop light switch assembly and sets the DTC.

Tip:

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

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note:

  • When replacing the ECM, perform ECM Initialization and Registration.

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

Tip:

  • When the ECM must be replaced, before replacing the ECM, perform the "Learning Values Save" function using the GTS. Then after installing a new ECM, perform all of the initialization and registration procedures for the "Learning Values Write" function by following the instructions shown on the GTS display.

  • 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 assembly conditions can be checked using the GTS.

    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

    3. Turn the GTS on.

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

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