DTC Descriptors
DTC P0703: Brake Switch Circuit 2Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit | Short to Ground | Open/High Resistance | Short to Voltage | Signal Performance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Stop Lamp Switch Signal | P0572 P0703 | P0572 P0703 | P0573 P0703 | -- |
Circuit/System Description
The stop lamp switch signal circuits are direct hardwire inputs to the engine control module (ECM) The modules monitor the stop lamp switch signal circuit to detect when the brake pedal has been applied. The ECM monitors both switch signal circuits to determine when the brake pedal is applied.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The ignition is ON.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The ECM receives an invalid stop lamp switch signal.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The cruise control system becomes disabled.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.

Circuit/System Verification
Ignition ON, boserve the BPP Circuit Signal and TCC/Cruise Brake Pedal Switch parameters the readinge should be Released and change to Applied when the brake pedal is pressed.
Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the stop lamp switch.
- Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ citcuit terminal 4 and ground.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the ignition citcuit terminal 3 and ground.
- Connect the harness connector at the stop lamp switch.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connectors at the ECM.
- Connect a test lamp between the appropriate brake switch signal circuit terminal and ground.
- Ignition ON, press and release the brake pedal. Verify the test lamp turns ON and OFF when pressing and releasing the brake pedal.
- If all circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
| ⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate test the B+ cicuit for an open/high resistance or short to ground. |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate test the ignition cicuit for an open/high resistance or short to ground. |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp is always ON, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the stop lamp switch. |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp is always OFF, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the stop lamp switch. |
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
