Toyota Corolla Cross: Brake Switch "B" Circuit Short to Battery (P070312)

DESCRIPTION

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

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

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

This DTC indicates that the stop light switch assembly is remaining on. When the stop light switch assembly remains on during "stop and go" driving, the TCM interprets this as a malfunction of the stop light switch assembly, illuminates the MIL and stores this DTC. The vehicle must STOP (less than 3 km/h (2 mph)) and GO (30 km/h (19 mph) or more) five times for two consecutive driving cycles in order to store this DTC.

MONITOR STRATEGY

TYPICAL ENABLING CONDITIONS

The stop light switch remains on during GO and STOP driving 5 times.

GO and STOP are defined as follows:
