DTC P0703-00: Brake Switch Input Circuit Problem: Notes

DTC P0703:00 DETECTION CONDITION AND POSSIBLE CAUSE

DTC P0703:00	Brake switch input circuit problem
DETECTION CONDITION	The PCM monitors the input signal from the brake switch No. 1. If the input signal does not change while following decelerating 8 times, the PCM determines that there is a brake switch No. 1 input circuit problem. MONITORING CONDITIONS Vehicle speed: become from above 30 km/h {19 mph} to 30 km/h {19 mph} or less Deceleration rate: exceeds 3.8 km/h {2.4 mph} per 0.1 s Diagnostic support note This is a continuous monitor (CCM). The check engine light illuminates if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition in two consecutive drive cycles or in one drive cycle while the DTC for the same malfunction has been stored in the PCM. PENDING CODE is available if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition during first drive cycle. FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 2)/Snapshot data is available. The DTC is stored in the PCM memory.
FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION	-
POSSIBLE CAUSE	CAUTION: Inspect the brake switch with it installed to the brake pedal, otherwise the brake switch may not operate normally. If the brake switch is removed from the brake pedal, replace the brake switch with a new one. Brake switch connector or terminals malfunction Short to ground or open circuit in brake switch No. 1 power supply circuit Short to ground in wiring harness between STOP 10 A fuse and brake switch terminal A STOP 10 A fuse malfunction Open circuit in wiring harness between battery positive terminal and brake switch terminal A Short to ground in wiring harness between brake switch terminal D and PCM terminal 1AB PCM connector or terminals malfunction Short to power supply in wiring harness between brake switch terminal D and PCM terminal 1AB Open circuit in wiring harness between brake switch terminal D and PCM terminal 1AB Brake switch No. 1 malfunction PCM malfunction
