7A1–44 TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (4L30–E)

DTC P0719/Flashing Code 77 TCC Brake Switch Circuit High (Stuck On)

D07RX019

Circuit Description

The brake switch is used to indicate brake pedal status.
The normally opened brake switch signal voltage circuit is
opened.
Brake switch supplies a B+ signal on circuit RED to the
PCM, when the brakes are applied.  The PCM uses this
signal to deenergize the TCC solenoid when the brakes
are applied.
This DTC detects a closed brake switch during
accelerations.  This is a type “D” DTC.

Conditions For Setting The DTC

D

No OSS DTCs P0722 or P0723.

D

The PCM detects a closed brake switch/circuit (12
volts) for 2 seconds, and the following events occur
seven consecutive times: vehicle speed is less than 8
km/h (5 mph); then vehicle speed is between 8 and 32
km/h (5 and 20 mph) for 4 seconds; then vehicle
speed is greater than 32 km/h (20 mph) for 4 seconds.

Action Taken When The DTC Sets

D

If throttle opening is greater than 10% and vehicle
speed is greater than 45 km/h (28 mph), then
disregard brake switch contingency for TCC off
mode.

D

The PCM will not illuminate CHECK TRANS Lamp.

Conditions For Clearing The DTC

D

The DTC can be cleared from the PCM history by
using a scan tool.

D

The DTC will be cleared from history when the vehicle
has achieved 40 warm–up cycles without a failure
reported.

D

The PCM will cancel the DTC default actions when
the fault no longer exists and the ignition is cycled “off”
long enough to power down the PCM.

Diagnostic Aids

D

Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections at
the PCM and brake switch.  Look for possible bent,
backed out, deformed or damaged terminals.  Check
for weak terminal tension as well.  Also check for a
chafed wire that could short to bare metal or other
wiring.  Inspect for a broken wire inside the insulation.

D

When diagnosing for a possible intermittent short or
open condition, move or massage the wiring harness
while observing test equipment for a change.

D

Check customer driving habits and/or unusual driving
conditions (i.e. stop and go, highway).

D

Check brake switch for proper mounting and
adjustment.

Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic chart:
2. This test checks for voltage at the brake switch.
5. This test checks the brake switch.

Step

Action

Yes

1. Install the scan tool.
2. With the engine “off”, turn the ignition switch “on”.  If ABS code

is set, check applicable fuse.

NOTE: Before clearing DTC(s), use the scan tool to record “Failure
Records” for reference, as data will be lost when the “Clear Info”
function is used.

3. Record the DTC “Failure Records”.
4. Apply then release the brake pedal.

Does the scan tool display “Brake Switch” as “closed” with the
brake pedal applied, and then display “open” when the brake
pedal is released?

Repair the open in battery feed circuit terminal I18–1 to the brake
switch.
If fuse is open, check circuit terminal I18–4 for a short to ground.

Is the repair complete?

Go to Step 13

5

Disconnect brake switch connector I–18 and ignition switch “on”.

Is the test light “on”?

Go to Step 8

Go to Step 6

6

Check the brake switch short (I18–1 and I18–4).

Was a problem found?

Go to Step 9

Go to Step 10

7

Check circuit terminal I18–4 for a short to voltage.
Ignition switch “on”.

Is the test light “on”?

Go to Step 8

Go to Step 10

Replace the brake switch.

Is the replacement complete?

Go to Step 13

10

1. Turn the ignition “off”.
2. Reconnect the C3 (BLUE) PCM connector.
3. Turn the ignition “on”.

Does the scan tool display “Brake Switch” as “open” with the
brake applied, then display “closed” with the brake pedal
released?

1. After the repair is complete, use the scan tool to select “DTC”,

then “Clear Info” function and ensure the following conditions
are met:
The PCM brake switch signal must indicate 0 volts for 1
seconds with the brake pedal applied.

2. Review the scan tool “DTC Info”.

7A1–47

DTC P0722/Flashing Code 78 Transmission Output Speed Sensor (OSS) Low
Input

D07RW022

Circuit Description

Output speed information is provided to the PCM by the
OSS, which is a permanent magnet (PM) generator.  The
PM generator produces a pulsing AC voltage.  The AC
voltage level and number of pulses increases as the
speed of the vehicle increases.  The PCM then converts
the pulsing voltage to output speed, which is used for
calculations.  The vehicle speed can be displayed with a
scan tool.
This DTC detects a low output speed when there is a high
engine speed in a drive gear range.  This is a type “C”
DTC.

Conditions For Setting The DTC

D

No MAP DTCs P0107 or P0108, P0106, P1106,
P1107.

D

No TP DTCs P0122 or P0123.

D

Not in Park or Neutral.

D

TP angle is greater than 10%.

D

Engine vacuum is between 0 and 70kPa.

D

Engine speed is between 3000 and 7000 rpm.

D

Transmission output speed is less than 0 rpm.

D

All conditions met for 5 seconds.

Action Taken When The DTC Sets

D

Fixed to 4th gear.

D

Maximum line pressure.

D

Inhibit TCC engagement.

D

The PCM will illuminate the CHECK TRANS Lamp.

Conditions For Clearing The DTC/CHECK
TRANS Lamp

D

The PCM will turn off the CHECK TRANS Lamp after
three consecutive ignition cycles without a failure
reported.

D

The DTC can be cleared from the PCM history by
using a scan tool.  The DTC will be cleared from
history when the vehicle has achieved 40 warmup
cycles without a failure reported.

D

The PCM will cancel the DTC default actions when
the fault no longer exists and the ignition is cycled “off”
long enough to power down the PCM.

Diagnostic Aids

D

An OSS DTC P0722 will set when no output speed is
at detected at start off.

D

Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connection at the
PCM.  Look for possible bent, backed out, deformed
or damaged terminals.  Check for weak terminal
tension as well.  Also check for a chafed wire that
could short to bare metal or other wiring.  Inspect for a
broken wire inside the insulation.

D

When diagnosing for a possible intermittent short or
open condition, move or massage the wiring harness
while observing test equipment for a change.
