Toyota Tacoma (2015-2018) Service Manual: Brake Switch "B" Circuit Short to Battery (P070312)

Toyota Tacoma (2015-2018) Service Manual / Ac60e Automatic Transmission / Transaxle / Automatic Transmission System(for 2gr-fks) / Brake Switch "B" Circuit Short to Battery (P070312)

DESCRIPTION

The purpose of this circuit is to prevent the engine from stalling while driving in lock-up when the brakes are suddenly applied.

When the brake pedal is depressed, this switch sends a signal to the ECM. Then the ECM cancels the operation of the lock-up clutch while braking is in progress.

DTC Code	DTC Detection Condition	Trouble Area	SAE
P070312	Stop light switch remains on even when the vehicle is driven in a stop (less than 3 km/h (1.86 mph)) and go (30 km/h (18.65 mph) or more) pattern 5 times (2 trip detection logic).	Short in stop light switch signal circuit Stop light switch ECM	P0724

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

This DTC indicates that the stop light switch remains on. When the stop light switch remains on during stop and go driving, the ECM interprets this as a fault in the stop light switch. Then the MIL illuminates and the ECM stores the DTC. The vehicle must stop (less than 3 km/h (1.86 mph)) and go (30 km/h (18.65 mph) or more) 5 times for 2 driving cycles in order for the DTC to be stored.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

CAUTION:

When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.

HINT:

After repairs have been completed, clear the DTCs and then check that the vehicle has returned to normal by performing the following All Readiness check procedure.
When clearing the permanent DTCs, refer to the Clear Permanent DTC procedure (See page ).

Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the Techstream on.
Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
Turn the ignition switch off and wait for 2 minutes or more.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the Techstream on.
Start the engine.
Repeat the following procedure 5 times [*1]:
- Accelerate the vehicle to 30 km/h (18.65 mph) or more, depress the brake pedal and decelerate the vehicle to 3 km/h (1.86 mph) or less.
  HINT:
  
  [*1] : Normal judgment procedure.
  
  The normal judgment procedure is used to complete DTC judgment and also used when clearing permanent DTCs.
Stop the vehicle.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Transmission / Utility / All Readiness.
Input the DTC: P070312.

Check the DTC judgment result.

Techstream Display	Description
NORMAL	DTC judgment completed System normal
ABNORMAL	DTC judgment completed System abnormal
INCOMPLETE	DTC judgment not completed Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions
N/A	Unable to perform DTC judgment Number of DTCs which do not fulfill DTC preconditions has reached ECU memory limit

HINT:

If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or N/A, perform the normal judgment procedure again.

WIRING DIAGRAM

Refer to SFI system DTC P05042B (See page CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT ).

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

Perform the universal trip to clear permanent DTCs (See page ).
Perform registration and/or initialization when parts related to the automatic transmission are replaced (See page ).
Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.

1. DATA LIST

NOTICE:

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.

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.

(a) Warm up the engine.

(b) Turn the ignition switch off.

(d) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(e) Turn the Techstream on.

(f) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Transmission / Data List.

(g) According to the display on the Techstream, read the Data List.
