DTC P0719: Brake Switch Circuit - Low Input: Description

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2002 GMC Sonoma, 2002 GMC Safari, 2002 GMC Jimmy, 2002 Chevrolet S10 Pickup, and 2002 Chevrolet Blazer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The brake switch indicates brake pedal status to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The brake switch is a normally-closed switch that supplies battery voltage on the TCC brake switch signal circuit to the PCM. Applying the brake pedal opens the switch, interrupting voltage to the PCM. When the brake pedal is released, the PCM receives a constant voltage signal. If the PCM receives a zero voltage signal at the brake switch input, and the Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) is engaged, the PCM de-energizes the TCC solenoid valve. When the PCM detects an open brake switch circuit, 0 volts, low input, during accelerations, then DTC P0719 sets.
