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.

Vehicle Speed Sensor Malfunction
Stop Light Switch Circuit MalfunctionSymptom simulation
HINT:
The most difficult case in troubleshooting is when no
problem symptoms occur. In such a case, a thorough
problem analysis must be carried out. A simulation of the
same or similar conditions and environment in which the
problem occurred in the customer's vehicle should be
carried out. No ...
Removal
HINT:
On the LH side, use the same procedures as on the RH side.
1. REMOVE FRONT DOOR SCUFF PLATE RH
Using a screwdriver, disengage the 3 clips and 2
claws, and remove the scuff plate.
HINT:
Tape the screwdriver tip before use.
