This diagnostic test functions on the assumption that a sudden decrease in vehicle speed is caused by a brake pedal application. When the powertrain control module (PCM) detects that there is a 4.2 km/h (2.6 mph) or greater decrease in vehicle speed within 0.25 seconds and a transition of the torque converter clutch (TCC) brake switch without a transition of the stop lamp switch, the PCM sets DTC P1574.
