The TCC brake switch indicates brake pedal status to the PCM. The TCC brake switch indicates that the brake pedal is either applied or released. The normally-closed switch supplies battery voltage to the PCM. Applying the brake pedal opens the TCC brake switch, interrupting voltage to the PCM. When the PCM receives 0 volts at the TCC brake switch input, the PCM turns OFF the torque converter clutch pulse width modulation (TCC PWM) solenoid valve.
If the PCM detects an open brake switch, indicating pedal applied during a number of accelerations, then DTC P0719 sets. DTC P0719 is a type C DTC.
• | No VSS DTC P0502 or P0503. |
• | DTC P0719 has not passed this ignition cycle. |
The TCC brake switch indicates continuously OPEN (0 volts) for more than 15 minutes and the following conditions occur 8 times consecutively.
• | The vehicle speed is less than 8 km/h (5 mph); |
• | Then the vehicle speed is between 8-32 km/h (5-20 mph) for 3 seconds; |
• | Finally, the vehicle speed remains above 32 km/h (20 mph) for 6 seconds. |
• | The PCM does not illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). |
• | The PCM disregards the TCC brake switch for TCC scheduling when all of the following conditions are met: |
- | The TP angle is greater than 6%. |
- | The vehicle speed is greater than 60 km/h (37 mph). |
- | The TP angle was previously greater than 12% while the vehicle speed was greater than 68 km/h (42 mph). |
- | The TCC brake switch has not indicated OFF for more than 2 seconds this trip. |
• | The PCM records the operating conditions when the Conditions for Setting the DTC are met. The PCM stores this information as Failure Records. |
• | The PCM stores DTC P0719 in PCM history. |
• | A scan tool can clear the DTC. |
• | The PCM clears the DTC from PCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without a non-emission related diagnostic fault occurring. |
• | The PCM cancels the DTC default actions when the fault no longer exists and the DTC passes. |
The number below refers to the step number on the diagnostic table.
Step | Action | Value(s) | Yes | No |

Caution: Refer to SIR Caution in the Preface section. Does the scan tool display Closed? | -- | Go to Step 8 | Go to Step 6 | |
6 | Test the ignition 1 voltage circuit of the TCC brake switch for an open between the fuse block and the brake switch. Refer to Testing for Continuity and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 10 | Go to Step 7 |
7 | Test the signal circuit of the TCC brake switch for an open between the PCM and the brake switch. Refer to Testing for Continuity and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 10 | Go to Step 9 |
8 | Replace the TCC brake switch. Refer to Stop Lamp Switch Replacement in Lighting Systems. Did you complete the repair? | -- | Go to Step 10 | -- |
9 | Replace the PCM. Refer to Powertrain Control Module Replacement in Engine Controls - 3.4L. Did you complete the repair? | -- | Go to Step 10 | -- |
10 | Perform the following procedure in order to verify the repair:
Has the test run and passed? | -- | Go to Step 11 | Go to Step 2 |
11 | With a scan tool, observe the stored information, capture info and DTC info. Does the scan tool display any DTCs that you have not diagnosed? | -- | Go to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List in Engine Controls - 3.4L | System OK |
The TCC brake switch indicates brake pedal status to the TCM. The TCC brake switch indicates that the brake pedal is either applied or released. The normally-closed switch supplies battery voltage to the TCM. Applying the brake pedal opens the TCC brake switch, interrupting voltage to the TCM. When the TCM receives 0 volts at the TCC brake switch input, the TCM turns OFF the torque converter clutch pulse width modulation (TCC PWM) solenoid valve.
If the TCM detects an open brake switch, indicating pedal applied during a number of accelerations, then DTC P0719 sets. DTC P0719 is a type C DTC.
• | No VSS DTC P0722 or P0723. |
• | DTC P0719 has not passed this ignition cycle. |
The TCC brake switch indicates continuously OPEN (0 volts) for more than 15 minutes and the following conditions occur 8 times consecutively.

• | Finally, the vehicle speed remains above 52 km/h (32 mph) for 6 seconds. |
• | The TCM does not request the ECM to illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). |
• | The TCM disregards the TCC brake switch for TCC scheduling when all of the following conditions are met: |
- | The TP angle is greater than 6%. |
