DTC P0724: Brake Switch "B" Circuit High [12/2013 - 11/2016]: Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Toyota Highlander, 2015 Toyota Highlander, and 2014 Toyota Highlander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. READ VALUE USING DATA LIST (STP SIGNAL) 

    HINT: 

    Using the Techstream to read the Data List allows the values or states of switches, sensors, actuators and other items to be read without removing any parts. This non-intrusive inspection can be very useful because intermittent conditions or signals may be discovered before parts or wiring is disturbed. Reading the Data List information early in troubleshooting is one way to save diagnostic time.

    NOTE:

    In the table below, the values listed under "Normal Condition" are reference values. Do not depend solely on these reference values when deciding whether a part is faulty or not.

    1. Turn the ignition switch off.
    2. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    3. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    4. Turn the Techstream on.
    5. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / ECT / Data List.
    6. According to the display on the Techstream, read the Data List.

      Powertrain > ECT > Data List 

      Tester Display Measurement Item Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note

      On the Techstream screen, ON or OFF is displayed accordingly.

      NOTE:

      In the table above, the conditions listed under "Normal Condition" are reference conditions. Do not depend solely on these reference conditions when deciding whether a part is faulty.
