DTC P1574 2.0L
Circuit Description
The cruise release switch is a normally closed switch. The stop lamp switch signal circuit is a normally open switch. When the brake pedal is released, the powertrain control module (PCM) detects a high voltage signal on the torque converter clutch (TCC) brake switch/cruise control release signal circuit and a low signal voltage signal on the stop lamp switch signal circuit.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P1574 Stoplamp Switch Circuit
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | The engine is ON. |
| • | The traction control system or the antilock brake system are not active and have not failed. |
| • | The vehicle has accelerated from 0 km/h (0 mph) to 60 km/h (37 mph) 3 times in one ignition cycle. |
| • | This diagnostic runs continuously once the conditions for running the DTC has been achieved. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
When the brake pedal is pressed, the PCM detects a low voltage signal on the stop lamp switch signal circuit and a low voltage signal on the TCC brake switch/cruise control release signal circuit.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The 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. |
| • | The Cruise Control System is disabled. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | 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. |
Diagnostic Aids
In order to avoid a misdiagnosis, perform the following:
| • | Inspect for proper operation of the stop lamps. Refer to Exterior Lighting Systems Description and Operation in Lighting Systems. |
| • | Inspect for proper adjustment of the stop lamps. Refer to Stop Lamp Switch Adjustment in Lighting Systems. |
| • | For an intermittent condition, refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems. |

1 | Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle? | Go to Step 2 | Go to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Information |
2 | Do the stop lamps work properly? | Go to Step 3 | Go to Stop Lamps Inoperative in Lighting Systems |
3 | Test the stop lamp switch signal circuit for an open or for a high resistance between the body control module (BCM) and the powertrain control module (PCM). Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 6 | Go to Step 4 |
4 | Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the PCM. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 6 | Go to Step 5 |
5 | Replace the PCM. Refer to Control Module References in Computer/Integrating Systems for replacement, setup, and programming. Did you complete the replacement? | Go to Step 6 | -- |

Does the DTC reset? | Go to Step 2 | System OK |
DTC P1574 Non-2.0L
Circuit Description
The cruise release switch is a normally closed switch. The stop lamp switch signal circuit is a normally open switch. When the brake pedal is released, the engine control module (ECM) detects a high voltage signal on the torque converter clutch (TCC) brake switch/cruise control release signal circuit and a low signal voltage signal on the stop lamp switch signal circuit.
