DTC P0504 Brake Switch "A" / "B" Correlation
DTC P0724 Brake Switch "B" Circuit High
DESCRIPTION
The stop light switch is a duplex system that transmits two signals: STP and ST1-. These two signals are used by the ECM to monitor whether or not the brake system is working properly. If the signals, which indicate the brake pedal is being depressed or released, are detected simultaneously, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the stop light switch and sets the DTC.
HINT: The normal conditions are as shown in the table below. The signals can be read using the intelligent tester.
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
This DTC indicates that the stop light switch remains on. When the stop light switch remains ON during "stop and go" driving, the ECM interprets this as a fault in the stop light switch and the MIL comes on and the ECM stores the DTC. The vehicle must stop (less than 2 mph (3 km/h)) and go (19 mph (30 km/h) or more) 5 times for two driving cycles in order to detect a malfunction.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT: Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can be helpful in determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, whether the engine was warmed up or not, whether the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the time of a malfunction.
1 CHECK OPERATION OF STOP LIGHT
OK: Stop lights turn on when brake pedal is depressed.
2 INSPECT STOP LIGHT SWITCH ASSEMBLY

Standard voltage
4 CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (STOP LIGHT SWITCH - ECM)
Standard resistance : Check for open
Check for short
REPLACE ECM
Data list / active test
1. READ DATA LIST
HINT:
Using the intelligent tester's DATA LIST allows switch,
actuator and other item values to be read without
removing any parts. Reading the DATA LIST early in
troubleshooting is one way to save time.
Connect the intelligent tester with CAN VIM to the
DLC3.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 CHECK CABIN
Check that conditions in the cabin are not likely to cause
condensation.
HINT:
This problem occurs when the cabin is humid and the
temperature rapidly changes. This condition may
produce condensation, resulting in a short circuit.
OK:
Condensation ...

1. INSPECT FRONT DIFFERENTIAL
(a) Using a dial indicator, measure the backlash of one
pinion gear while holding the front differential side
gear toward the case.
Standard backlash:
0.05 - 0.20 mm (0.0020 - 0.0079 in.)
NOTICE:
Do not mount the surface of front differential
case which cont ...
