P0504

DTC P0504















Circuit Description
The engine control module (ECM) monitors the stop lamp switch signal circuit and the cruise control release signal circuit every 100 ms. The ECM monitors the status of the stop lamp switch signal circuit and the cruise control signal circuit to see if they match when the brake pedal is pressed or released.

Conditions for Running the DTC
The ignition is ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
The status of the stop lamp switch input to the ECM, and the cruise/brake switch 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 at counter increments. When the counter reaches 10 the DTC will set.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
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 control module stores the DTC information into memory when the diagnostic runs and fails.
* The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will not illuminate.
* The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The control module stores this information in the Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC
* The DTC will clear when the status of the stop lamp switch input to the ECM, and the cruise/brake switch 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.
* Clear the DTC with a scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids
* Inspect for proper adjustment of the stop lamp switch and cruise/brake switch.
Refer to Cruise Control Release Switch Adjustment. Adjustments
Refer to Stop Lamp Switch Adjustment.
* Check for internments and poor connections.
