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.
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P0719 Brake Switch Circuit Low Voltage
• | 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. |
When the brake pedal is released, 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.
• | 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. |
• | 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. |
In order to avoid a misdiagnosis, inspect for proper adjustment of the cruise control release switch. Refer to Cruise Release Switch Adjustment .
For an intermittent condition, refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems.

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.
