DTC P0571 Brake Switch "A" Circuit
DESCRIPTION
When the brake pedal is depressed, the stop light switch sends a signal to the ECM. When the ECM receives this signal, it cancels the cruise control. The fail-safe function operates to enable normal driving even if there is a malfunction in the stop light signal circuit. The cancellation condition occurs when voltage is applied to terminal STP. When the brake is applied, voltage is normally applied to terminal STP of the ECM through the STOP SW fuse and the stop light switch, and the ECM turns the cruise control off.

1. INSPECT STEERING PAD (VEHICLE NOT INVOLVED IN COLLISION)
Perform a diagnostic system check.
With the steering pad installed on the vehicle,
perform a visual check. If there are any defects as
mentioned below, replace the steering pad with a
new one:
Cuts, minute cracks or marked ...
Changing engine switch modes
Modes can be changed by pressing the engine switch with the brake
pedal released. (The mode changes each time the switch is pressed.)
Off*
Emergency flashers can be used.
ACCESSORY mode
Some electrical components such
as the audio system can be used.

If your vehicle has to
be stopped in an
emergency
Only in an emergency, such as if it becomes impossible to stop
the vehicle in the normal way, stop the vehicle using the following
procedure:
Steadily step on the brake pedal with both feet and firmly depress it.
Do not pump the brake pedal repeatedly as this will increase the effort
