DTC P0724 Brake Switch "B" Circuit High

DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this circuit is to prevent the engine from stalling while driving in the lock-up condition when the brakes are suddenly applied.

When the brake pedal is depressed, this switch sends a signal to the ECM. Then the ECM cancels the operation of the lock-up clutch while braking is in progress.

P0724:





MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The circuit prevents the engine from stopping when the vehicle is stopped by sudden braking when the torque converter clutch is in the "lock-up" mode. The ECM receives the signal from the stop light switch when the brake pedal is depressed. Then, the ECM sends a signal to the lock-up solenoid valve to turn lock-up off.

This DTC indicates that the stop light switch remains ON. When the stop light switch remains ON during GO and STOP driving, the ECM interprets this as a fault in the stop light switch. Then the MIL illuminates and the ECM stores the DTC. The vehicle must GO (30 km/h (18.65 mph) or more) and STOP (less than 3 km/h (1.86 mph) 5 times for 2 driving cycles in order for the DTC to be output.
