Toyota Tacoma 2015-2018 Service Manual: Brake Switch "A" Circuit (P0571)

Toyota Tacoma 2015-2018 Service Manual / Cruise Control / Dynamic Radar Cruise Control System(for 2tr-fe) / Brake Switch "A" Circuit (P0571)

DESCRIPTION

Detection condition 1:

When the brake pedal is depressed, the stop light switch assembly outputs a signal to the ECM. When the ECM receives the signal, it cancels control of vehicle speed by the dynamic radar cruise control system. The fail-safe function operates to enable normal operation 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 pedal is depressed, voltage is applied to terminal STP of the ECM through the STOP fuse and the stop light switch assembly, and the ECM turns the dynamic radar cruise control system off.

Detection condition 2:

The ECM receives the brake demand signal from the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly and transmits it to the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly). The skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) receives a signal from the ECM and operates the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly). The skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) operates the brake actuator assembly and illuminates the stop lights.

DTC No.	Detection Item	DTC Detection Condition	Trouble Area
P0571	Brake Switch "A" Circuit	Condition 1: While the vehicle speed is 36 km/h (22 mph) or more and the dynamic radar cruise control system is operating, voltage of STP terminal and that of ST1- terminal of ECM are less than 1 V for approximately 0.5 seconds or more. Condition 2: While the vehicle speed is 36 km/h (22 mph) or more and the dynamic radar cruise control system is operating, the ECM receives error signal from the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) for approximately 0.5 seconds or more.	Condition 1: Stop light switch assembly Harness or connector ECM Condition 2: ECM Vehicle stability control system

PROCEDURE

1.	CHECK FOR DTCs (VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM)

(a) Check for DTCs.

Click here HINT:

HINT:

When DTC P0571 (detection condition 2) is stored by the dynamic radar cruise control system, DTC C1380 is stored by the vehicle stability control system. Therefore, if DTC P0571 (detection condition 2) is stored, inspect the vehicle stability control system first.

Result	Proceed to
Vehicle stability control system DTCs are not output	A
Vehicle stability control system DTCs are output	B

GO TO VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM

2.	CHECK FOR DTC (RADAR CRUISE1)

(a) Clear the DTCs.

Click here (b) Make sure that the DTC detection conditions are met.

(b) Make sure that the DTC detection conditions are met.

HINT:

If the detection conditions are not met, the system cannot detect the malfunction.

Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Turn the dynamic radar cruise control system on using the cruise control main switch (ON-OFF button).
Drive the vehicle at 36 km/h (22 mph) or more for 1 second or more.

Result	Proceed to
DTC P0571 is not output	A
DTC P0571 is output	B

USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK

3.	CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (STOP LIGHT SWITCH ASSEMBLY - BATTERY AND BODY GROUND)

(a) Disconnect the stop light switch assembly connector.

(b) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Voltage:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
S10-2 - Body ground	Always	11 to 14 V
S10-4 - Body ground	Ignition switch to ON	11 to 14 V
S10-4 - Body ground	Ignition switch off	Below 1 V

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

4.	INSPECT STOP LIGHT SWITCH ASSEMBLY

(a) Remove the stop light switch assembly.

Click here (b) Inspect the stop light switch assembly.

(b) Inspect the stop light switch assembly.

REPLACE STOP LIGHT SWITCH ASSEMBLY

5.	CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ECM - STOP LIGHT SWITCH ASSEMBLY)

(a) Disconnect the E21 ECM connector.

(b) Disconnect the S10 stop light switch assembly connector.

(d) Disconnect the S7 shift lock control unit connector.

(e) Remove the STOP relay from the engine room relay block.

(f) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
E21-11 (ST1-) - S10-3	Always	Below 1 Ω
E21-10 (STP) - S10-1	Always	Below 1 Ω
E21-11 (ST1-) or S10-3 - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher
E21-10 (STP) or S10-1 - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher
