Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Saturn LW300, 2003 Saturn LW200, 2003 Saturn L300, and 2003 Saturn L200. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 2:  Disconnecting the brake switch connector, jumping the circuit, and observing a status change, isolates the brake switch as the source of the DTC.
  2. 3:  If the ignition 1 voltage circuit shorts to ground, the BRAKE fuse opens.
  3. 5:  If the brake switch is properly adjusted, then the brake switch must be replaced.
  4. 8:  Replace the PCM only after you have completed the preceding diagnostic steps.

  1. Test the ignition 1 voltage circuit (CKT 540) of the brake switch for an open.
  2. Test the signal circuit (CKT 20) of the brake switch for an open.
Refer to Testing for Continuity and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.Did you find and correct a condition?		 - Go to Step 9  Go to Step 8 
7 Replace the brake switch.
Refer to STOP LAMP SWITCH REPLACEMENT in Lighting Systems.
Did you complete the replacement?		 - Go to Step 9  -
8  Replace the PCM.
Refer to POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE in Removal & Installation.
Did you complete the replacement?		 - Go to Step 9  -
9 Perform the following procedure in order to verify the repair:
  1. Select DTC.
  2. Select Clear Info.
  3. Operate the vehicle under the following conditions:
    • Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
    • Apply and release the brake pedal.
    • The PCM must receive 12 volts, brake switch closed, on the circuit for 2 seconds.
  4. Select Specific DTC.
  5. Enter DTC P0724.

Has the test run and passed?		 - Go to Step 10  Go to Step 2 
10 With the scan tool, observe the stored information, capture info and DTC info.
