Brake Switch: Troubleshooting
- Part diagnosis
Items Cause Symptom Switch fuse Faulty fuse connection, Damaged fuse - DTC Code: P0504
- Symptom: Shifting gear trouble, Starting failure, Cruise control function cancellation trouble, EPB function cancellation trouble, Stop lamp lighting trouble, ESP OFF light illuminated.
- A waveform inspection is performed using an oscilloscope on each part during vehicle acceleration/braking. (Refer to stop lamp switch circuit INSPECTION procedures)
- Refer to the relevant repair procedures of the part when something abnormal is discovered in the waveform (Refer to the repair procedures of the relevant part and if necessary replace it)

- Symptom diagnosis
Symptom Part that could be the cause Trouble starting Switch fuse, Relay fuse, Stop lamp switch, Stop signal electronic module, ABS/VDC control module, Each wire, Connector - Inspect waveform using an oscilloscope on each part during vehicle acceleration/braking. (Refer to stop lamp switch circuit INSPECTION Procedures)
- Refer to the relevant repair procedures of the part when something abnormal is discovered in the waveform (Refer to the repair procedures of the relevant part and if necessary replace it)
Trouble shifting gears Switch fuse, Relay fuse, Stop lamp switch, Stop signal electronic module, BCM, ECM, Inhibitor switch, Each wire, Connector ESP OFF light illuminated Switch fuse, Relay fuse, Stop lamp switch, Stop signal electronic module, ABS/VDC control module, Each wire, Connector P0504 Switch fuse, Relay fuse, Stop lamp switch, Stop signal electronic module, ECM, Each wire, Connector Stop lamp not working Switch fuse, Relay fuse, Stop lamp switch, Stop signal electronic module, Wire/Connector disconnected Stop lamp always turned on Stop lamp switch, Stop signal electronic module, Wiring short circuit, Damaged fuse - Stop lamp switch system diagnosis
•: Always ON ◦: ON - OFF operation X: Always OFF
Symptom (When the ESP OFF lamp illuminated) System Remedy (1) Power Supply (B+) (2) End of the Stop Lamp Switch (3) SSEM Input (4) SSEM Output Switch internal open • X X X Replace a new one and check it Switch internal short • • • • Check the stop lamp switch after removing it - Switch failure: Replace a new one
- Wiring failure: Check part that could be the cause
SSEM internal short • ◦ ◦ • or X Check the SSEM after removing it - SSEM failure: Replace a new one
- Wiring failure: Check the part that could be the cause
SSEM internal open • ◦ ◦ X Check the SSEM after removing it Power supply open X X X X Check the power supply connector or the fuse Power supply short (Current reduction) • ◦ ◦ • or X It the power supply line Is shorted, SSEM ON-OFF may not be operating well duo to the amount of current reduction
Check the fuse damageFailure between SSEM and output • ◦ X X Check the connector and the wiring Failure between SSEM and Stop lamp
(Not operating the stop lamp No signals on GDS)• ◦ ◦ ◦ Check the connector and the wiring SSEM: Stop Signal Electronic Module
