DTC P0719 Brake Switch Circuit Low Input Gas
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 vehicle control module (VCM). The signal voltage circuit opens when the brakes are applied.
If the VCM 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 3.5 seconds. |
| 3. | Then the vehicle speed is greater than 40 km/h (25 mph) for 6 seconds. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | All conditions are met for 8 occurrence. |
| • | The VCM detects an open TCC/Stoplamp switch/circuit (0 volts) for 15 minutes. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The VCM does not illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). |
| • | For TCC scheduling, the VCM disregards the brake switch state if the TP sensor is greater than 1% and the vehicle speed is greater than 20 MPH. |
| • | The VCM stores DTC P0719 in VCM history. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | A scan tool clears the DTC from VCM history. |
| • | The VCM clears the DTC from VCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without a non-emission-related diagnostic fault occurring. |
| • | The VCM 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 VCM. |
Diagnostic Aids
| • | Inspect the wiring at the VCM, 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. |

DTC P0719 Brake Switch Circuit Low Input Diesel
Circuit Description
The normally open TCC/Stoplamp switch indicates brake pedal status to the powertrain control module (PCM). Applying the brake pedal closes the switch, supplying voltage to the PCM. Releasing the brake pedal interrupts voltage to the PCM.
If the PCM detects an open TCC/Stoplamp switch (stuck OFF) during decelerations, then DTC P0719 sets. DTC P0719 is a type D DTC.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | No OSS sensor DTC P0722 or P0723. |
| • | The following sequence of events occur: |
| 1. | the vehicle speed is greater than 32 km/h (20 mph) for 6 seconds. |
| 2. | Then the vehicle speed is 8-32 km/h (5-20 mph) for 3 seconds. |
| 3. | Then the vehicle speed is less than 8 km/h (5 mph). |
| 4. | DTC P0719 has not passed. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | All conditions are met for ten occurrences. |
| • | The PCM detects a closed TCC/Stoplamp switch/circuit (0 volts). |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The PCM does not illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). |
| • | 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 connector 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. |
| • | A short in the stoplamp circuit will cause the fuse to open. |
| • | Inspect the TCC/Stoplamp switch for proper mounting and adjustment. |
| • | First diagnose and clear any engine DTCs codes that are present. Then inspect for any transmission DTCs that may have reset. |
