1. Stop lamps are inoperative 2. Stop lamps are always ON |
The engine control module (ECM) monitors the stop lamp switch signal circuit and the torque converter clutch (TCC) brake switch/cruise control release signal circuit every 100 ms. The ECM monitors the status of the stop lamp switch signal circuit and the TCC brake switch/cruise control signal circuit to see if they match when the brake pedal is pressed or released.
The ignition is ON.
The status of the stop lamp switch input to the ECM, and the TCC brake switch/cruise control input to the ECM do not match for at least 2 seconds continuously, for 10 occurrences. Each time the signals match then do not match a counter increments. When the counter reaches 10 the DTC will set.
When DTC P0504 is set the following will occur:
• | The cruise control is disabled. |
• | The ECM will function as if the brake pedal is not pressed. |
• | The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will not illuminate. |
• | The DTC will clear when the status of the stop lamp switch input to the ECM, and the TCC brake switch/cruise control input to the ECM match for at least 2 seconds continuously for both the pressed position and the released position. |
• | A current DTC Last Test Failed clears when the diagnostic runs and passes. |
• | A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other non-emission related diagnostic. |
Aftermarket trailer brake controllers must be disconnected before diagnosing DTC P0504.

⇒ | If the parameter does not change as the brake pedal is applied and released, refer to TCC/Cruise Brake Switch Malfunction. |
⇒ | If the parameter does not change as the brake pedal is applied and released, refer to Stop Lamp Switch Malfunction. |
⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. |
⇒ | If not the specified value, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM. |
⇒ | If not the specified value, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM. |
