Circuit Description

The TCC/Stoplamp switch indicates the brake pedal status. The normally-closed TCC/Stoplamp switch supplies a B+ signal on CKT 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 D 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% and the vehicle speed is greater than 20 MPH.
    • 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
    • Inspect the wiring at the PCM, the TCC/Stoplamp switch and all other circuit connecting points for the following conditions:
       - A backed out terminal
       - A damaged terminal
       - Reduced terminal tension
       - A chafed wire
       - A broken wire inside the insulation
       - Moisture intrusion
       - Corrosion
    • When diagnosing for an intermittent short or open, massage the wiring harness while watching the test equipment for a change.
    • 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.
    • First diagnose and clear any engine DTCs or TP sensor codes that are present. Then inspect for any transmission DTCs that may have reset.

Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. This step tests for TCC/Stoplamp switch voltage to the PCM connector.

    2.

  2. This step isolates the TCC/Stoplamp switch as a source for setting the DTC.

    3.

  3. This step tests for a short to ground in CKT 441 (ignition voltage) to the TCC/Stoplamp switch.

    4.

  4. This step tests for a short to ground in CKT 420, from the TCC/Stoplamp switch to the PCM.

    5.

  5. This step isolates the PCM as a source for causing the fuse to open.

  1. Install the Scan Tool .
  2. With the engine OFF, turn the ignition switch to the RUN position.

    3. Important: Before clearing the DTCs, use the scan tool in order to record the Failure Records. Using the Clear Info function erases the Failure Records from the PCM.

  3. Record the Failure Records.
  4. Clear the DTCs.
  5. Select the TCC Brake Switch on the Scan Tool .
  6. Do not apply the brake pedal.
