The torque converter clutch (TCC) brake switch/cruise control release signal circuit is incorporated into the stop lamp switch. The TCC brake switch/cruise control release signal circuit portion of the stop lamp switch is a normally closed switch. The stop lamp switch signal circuit portion of the stop lamp switch is a normally open switch. When the brake pedal is released, the PCM detects a high voltage signal on the TCC brake switch/cruise control release signal circuit and a low signal voltage signal on the stop lamp switch signal circuit.
• | The engine speed is greater than 700 RPM. |
• | The engine operates for greater than 2 seconds. |
• | The wheel speed is greater than 48 km/h (30 mph) in order to enable the diagnostic. The diagnostic disables when the wheel speed is below 16 km/h (10 mph). |
• | When the brake pedal is released, the PCM detects a high voltage signal on the stop lamp switch signal circuit or when the PCM detects a low voltage signal on the TCC brake switch/cruise control release signal circuit. |
• | The above conditions are present for 2 seconds. |
• | The powertrain control module (PCM) stores the DTC information into memory when the diagnostic runs and fails. |
• | The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will not illuminate. |
• | The PCM records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The PCM stores this information in the Failure Records. |
• | A last test failed, or current DTC, clears when the diagnostic runs and does not fail. |
• | A history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other non-emission related diagnostic. |
• | Use a scan tool in order to clear the DTC. |
• | Refer to Exterior Lighting Systems Description and Operation in Lighting Systems, in order to avoid a misdiagnosis. |
• | For an intermittent, refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems. |
