CRUISE CONTROL: CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM: P0571: Brake Switch "A" Circuit
P0571 - Brake Switch "A" Circuit

DESCRIPTION

When the brake pedal is depressed, the stop light switch assembly sends a signal to the power management control ECU. When the power management control ECU receives this signal, it cancels cruise control system control of vehicle speed. 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 power management control ECU through the STOP fuse and the stop light switch assembly, and the power management control ECU cancels control of vehicle speed by the cruise control system.
