DTC P0504 Brake Switch "A"/"B" Correlation: Description
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
The stop light switch is a duplex system that transmits two signals: STP and ST1-. These two signals are used by the ECM to monitor whether or not the brake system is working properly. If signals which indicate the brake pedal is being depressed and released are detected simultaneously, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the stop light switch and stores the DTC.
HINT:
The normal conditions are as shown in the table below. The signals can be read using the Techstream.
