DTC P0719 Brake Switch Circuit Low Input Gas LQ4
Circuit Description
The TCC/Stoplamp switch indicates the brake pedal status. The normally-closed TCC/Stoplamp switch supplies a B+ signal on circuit 420 to the powertrain control module (PCM). The signal voltage circuit opens when the brakes are applied.
If the PCM detects an open TCC/Stoplamp switch circuit during accelerations, then DTC P0719 sets. DTC P0719 is a type C DTC.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | No OSS DTC P0502 or DTC P0503. |
| • | The following sequence of events occurs: |
| 1. | The vehicle speed is less than 8 km/h (5 mph). |
| 2. | Then the vehicle speed is 8-40 km/h (5-25 mph) for 3.2 seconds. |
| 3. | Then the vehicle speed is greater than 40 km/h (25 mph) for 7 seconds. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | All conditions are met for 8 occurrences. |
| • | The PCM detects an open TCC/Stoplamp switch/circuit (0 volts) for 15 minutes. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The PCM does not illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). |
| • | For TCC scheduling, the PCM disregards the brake switch state if the TP sensor is greater than 1.5% and the vehicle speed is greater than 20 MPH. |
| • | 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. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | A scan tool clears the DTC from PCM history. |
| • | The PCM clears the DTC from PCM history if the vehicle completes 40 consecutive 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 ignition switch is OFF long enough in order to power down the PCM. |
Diagnostic Aids
| • | First diagnose and clear any engine DTCs or TP sensor codes that are present. Then inspect for any transmission DTCs that may have reset. |
| • | Inspect the connectors at the PCM, the TCC Stoplamp switch and all other circuit connecting points for an intermittent condition. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems. |
| • | Inspect the circuit wiring for an intermittent condition. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents in Wiring Systems. |
| • | Ask about the customer's driving habits and any unusual driving conditions he or she might have, such as stop and go traffic or expressway driving. |
| • | Inspect the brake switch for proper mounting and adjustment. |
| • | Inspect for the most current calibration ID and the latest bulletins. |
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
-
This step tests for TCC/Stoplamp switch voltage to the PCM connector.
-
This step isolates the TCC/Stoplamp switch as a source for setting the DTC.
-
This step tests for a short to ground in the power feed circuit (CKT 441) (ignition voltage) to the TCC/Stoplamp switch.
-
This step tests for a short to ground in the input circuit (CKT 420), from the TCC/Stoplamp switch to the PCM.
-
This step isolates the PCM as a source for causing the fuse to open.
Step | Action | Value(s) | Yes | No | ||||||
