DTC P0724 Brake Switch ºBº Circuit High
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this circuit is to prevent the engine from stalling while driving in lock±up condition when
brakes are suddenly applied.
When the brake pedal is depressed, this switch sends a signal to the ECM. Then the ECM cancels the opera-
tion of the lock±up clutch while braking is in progress.
DTC No.DTC Detection ConditionTrouble Area
P0724
The stop light switch remains ON even when the vehicle is
driven in a STOP (less than 3 km/h (2 mph)) and GO (30 km/h
(19 mph) or more) fashion 5 times. (2±trip detection logic).
Short in stop light switch signal circuit

ECM
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
This DTC indicates that the stop light switch remains on. When the stop light switch remains ON during ºstop
and goº driving, the ECM interprets this as a fault in the stop light switch and the MIL comes on and the ECM
stores the DTC. The vehicle must stop (less than 3 km/h (2 mph)) and go (30 km/h (19 mph) or more) ten
times for two driving cycles in order to detect a malfunction.

DTC P0781 1±2 Shift (1±2 Shift Valve)
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The 1±2 shift valve performs shifting to 1st gear and other
gears.
DTC No.DTC Detection ConditionTrouble Area
P0781The gear required by the ECM does not match the actual gear
when driving (2±trip detection logic)
Valve body is blocked up or stuck (1±2 shift valve)

Automatic transmission (clutch, brake or gear, etc.)
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
This DTC indicates that the 1±2 shift valve in the valve body is locked in the direction the spring compresses.
The ECM commands gear shifts by turning the shift solenoid valves ºON/OFFº and switching oil pressure
to the valves in the valve body.
The ECM calculates the ºactualº transmission gear by comparing the signals from the input speed sensor
(NCO) and the output speed sensor (SP2). The ECM can detect many mechanical problems in the shift sole-
noids, valve body, and the transmission clutches, brakes, and gears. If the ECM detects that the actual gear
position and the commanded gear position are different, it will illuminate the MIL and store the DTC .

± DIAGNOSTICSABS WITH EBD & BA & TRAC & VSC SYSTEM
1088 Author: Date:
2005 SEQUOIA (RM1146U)
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
1. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
HINT:

The yaw rate sensor and deceleration sensor are combined and in a single unit. This unit communi-
cates with the skid control ECU through the CAN communication system.

No changes have been made to the communication method between the VSC system and ECM. How-
ever, the communication method between the Translate ECU and ECM has been changed from serial
to CAN communication.
(a) ABS
(Anti±lock Brake System)
The ABS helps prevent the wheels from locking when the brakes are applied firmly or when braking
on a slippery surface.
(b) EBD
(Electronic Brake force Distribution)
The EBD control utilizes ABS, realizing proper brake force distribution between front and rear wheels
in accordance with driving conditions.
In addition, during braking while cornering, it also controls the brake forces of the right and left wheels,
helping to maintain vehicle behavior.
(c) BA (Brake Assist)
The primary purpose of the brake assist system is to provide an auxiliary brake force to assist the driver
who cannot generate a large enough brake force during emergency braking, thus helping to maximize
the vehicle's braking performance.
(d) TRAC
(Traction Control)
The TRAC system helps prevent the drive wheels from slipping if the driver presses down on the accel-
erator pedal excessively when starting off or accelerating on a slippery surface.
(e) VSC
(Vehicle Stability Control)
The VSC system helps prevent the vehicle from slipping sideways as a result of strong front wheel skid
or strong rear wheel skid during cornering.
2. ABS with EBD & BA & TRAC & VSC OPERATION
(a) The skid control ECU calculates vehicle stability tendency based on signals from the speed sensor,
yaw rate (deceleration) sensor and steering angle sensor. In addition, it evaluates the results of the
calculations to determine whether any control actions (control of the engine output torque by electronic
throttle control and of the wheel brake pressure by the brake actuator) should be implemented.
(b) The SLIP indicator blinks and the VSC buzzer sounds to inform the driver that the VSC system is oper-
ating. The SLIP indicator also blinks when TRAC is operating, and the operation being performed is
displayed.
3. FAIL SAFE FUNCTION
(a) When a failure occurs in the ABS & BA & TRAC & VSC systems, the ABS and VSC warning lights come
on and ABS & BA & TRAC & VSC operations are prohibited. In addition to this, when there is a failure
that disables EBD operation, the brake warning light also comes on and EBD operation is prohibited.
(b) If some control is prohibited due to a malfunction during its operation, that control will be cut off gradual-
ly not to change the stability of the vehicle suddenly.
