Pinpoint Test B: DTC P0504 OR DTC P1572:01
Refer to Wiring Diagram Set 31, Cruise Control for schematic and connector information Electrical Diagrams.
Normal Operation
The stoplamp switch and cruise control deactivator switch signals are inputs to the PCM for the cruise control operation.
When the brake pedal is applied, the normally open stoplamp switch closes and applies a voltage signal to the PCM deactivating the cruise control, if engaged.
The cruise control deactivator switch is a normally closed switch that provides a ground signal to the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC). When the brake pedal is applied, the switch opens and removes the ground signal to the IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster). The IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) sends a network message over the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) to the PCM. This is a redundant signal to the PCM.
The PCM receives both signals and compares the inputs to confirm that the correct brake input sequence is received.
- DTC P0504 (Brake Switch A / B Correlation)- sets when the PCM does not sense the correct sequence of the brake pedal input signal from both the cruise control deactivator and stoplamp switches when the brake pedal is pressed and released.
- DTC P1572:01 (Brake Pedal Switch Circuit: General Electrical Failure)- sets when the IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) detects an open in the cruise control deactivator switch signal during the self-test.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Stoplamp switch
- Cruise control deactivator switch
- PCM
- IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster)
- Remote Function Actuator (RFA) Module (with Intelligent Access (IA))
