DTC P0571

-
Cruise Control Brake Switch Circuit

Diagnostic Fault Information






Circuit/System Description

The brake switch signal circuit is a high voltage input to the body control module (BCM), engine control module (ECM), transmission control module (TCM), Power Take Off (PTO) module (if equipped) and Trailer Brake controller (if equipped). The BCM monitors the stop lamp switch circuit to detect when the brake pedal has been applied. The ECM monitors the brake switch signal to determine when the brake pedal is applied. When the brake pedal is applied, the BCM sends a serial data message to the ECM indicating that the brake pedal has been applied. The ECM senses a high voltage signal on the brake switch signal circuit when the stop lamp switch is closed.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* The engine is running.

* Battery voltage is greater than 11.5 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The ECM detects a low voltage signal on the brake switch signal circuit when the serial data message from the BCM indicates the brakes are applied.

Actions Taken When the DTC Sets

* The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will not illuminate.

* The cruise control system is disabled.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.

* A history DTC will clear after 40 malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the stop lamp switch.

2. Ignition ON, test for B+ between the B+ circuit terminal B and ground.

• If less than the specified value, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.

3. Verify the BPP Circuit Signal data parameter displays released.

• If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.

4. Connect a 3A fused jumper between the B+ circuit terminal B and the signal circuit terminal A. Verify the BPP Circuit Signal data parameter displays applied.

• If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.

5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the stop lamp switch.

Component Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the stop lamp switch.

2. With the brake pedal released, test for infinite resistance between terminal A and terminal B stop lamp switch.

• If not the specified value, replace the stop lamp switch.

3. With the brake pedal released, test for less than 1.0 ohm between terminal C and terminal D at the stop lamp switch.

• If not the specified value, replace the stop lamp switch.

4. With the brake pedal applied, test for less than 1.0 ohm between terminal A and terminal B at the stop lamp switch.

• If not the specified value, replace the stop lamp switch.

5. With the brake pedal applied, test for infinite resistance between terminal C and terminal D at the stop lamp switch.

• If not the specified value, replace the stop lamp switch.
