DTC P0571-12: Brake Switch "A" Circuit Short to Battery [11/2021 - ]: Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2025 Lexus NX 350h, 2024 Lexus NX 350h, 2023 Lexus NX 350h, and 2022 Lexus NX 350h. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. CHECK BRAKE PEDAL HEIGHT AND STOP LIGHT SWITCH ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION 

    Refer to ADJUSTMENT [11/2021 - ]

    OK

    The brake pedal height and stop light switch assembly installation is normal.

    Result

    Proceed to
    OK
    NG

    Result: 

    NG 

    ADJUST BRAKE PEDAL OR STOP LIGHT SWITCH ASSEMBLY. Refer to  ADJUSTMENT [11/2021 - ] 

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  2

  2. CHECK BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY 
    1. Make sure that there is no looseness at the locking part and the connecting part of the connector.

      OK

      The connector is securely connected.

      (Stop Light Switch Assembly)
    2. Disconnect the A38 No. 2 skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) connector.
    3. Check both the connector case and the terminals for deformation and corrosion.

      OK

      No deformation or corrosion.

    4. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A37-2 (L) - Body ground Stop light switch assembly off
      (Brake pedal released)
      Below 1.5 V

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    OK 

    REPLACE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL [11/2021 - ] 

    Result: 

    NG 

    See step  3

  3. CHECK SEMICONDUCTOR POWER INTEGRATION ECU 
    1. Make sure that there is no looseness at the locking part and the connecting part of the connector.

      OK

      The connector is securely connected.

      (Stop Light Switch Assembly)
    2. Disconnect the A77 semiconductor power integration ECU connector.
    3. Check both the connector case and the terminals for deformation and corrosion.

      OK

      No deformation or corrosion.

    4. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A37-2 (L) - Body ground Stop light switch assembly off
      (Brake pedal released)
      Below 1.5 V

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    OK 

    REPLACE SEMICONDUCTOR POWER INTEGRATION ECU. Refer to  REMOVAL [11/2021 - ] 

    Result: 

    NG 

    See step  4

  4. CHECK STOP LIGHT SWITCH ASSEMBLY 
    1. Make sure that there is no looseness at the locking part and the connecting part of the connector.

      OK

      The connector is securely connected.

    2. Disconnect the A37 stop light switch assembly connector.
    3. Check both the connector case and the terminals for deformation and corrosion.

      OK

      No deformation or corrosion.

    4. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A37-2 (L) - Body ground Always Below 1.5 V

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    OK 

    REPLACE STOP LIGHT SWITCH ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL [11/2021 - ] 

    Result: 

    NG 

    See step  5

  5. CHECK FOR SHORT TO +B IN STP CIRCUIT 
    1. Check that there is no short to +B in the STP circuit (wire harnesses, connectors and ECUs).

      OK

      No short to +B.

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    OK 

    USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK. Refer to  HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING [11/2021 - ] 

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPAIR OR REPLACE MALFUNCTIONING PART
