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.

DESCRIPTION
The Test Mode (signal check) circuit detects trouble in the sensor or switch
signal, which cannot be
detected by the DTC check.
Connecting terminals TS and CG of the DLC3 starts the check.
