| 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 |
| DTC Detection Drive Pattern | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|
| Depress and release brake pedal with ignition switch to ON | Conditions (a), (b) and (c) continue for 0.5 seconds or more (1 trip detection logic): (a) Ignition switch to ON. (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. |

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Note
Inspect the fuses of circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.
After replacing the ECM, the new ECM needs registration Click here and initialization Click here.
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.
