2.VISUAL INSPECTION
NOTE: This code can set due to tire circumference differences and from the front or rear wheels being on
a slippery surface while the opposite tires are not.
This code may also set on a hard acceleration on loose gravel or during otheroff road driving conditions.
Check tire pressure of all the tires.
Checktirewearonallthetires.
Ask the customer what the road and driving conditions were like when the fault set.
Were any problems found?
Ye s>>
Repair as necessary. If the code set during a front OR rear wheel spin condition, no repair is necessary.

Set Condition:
PCM recognizes that the ECT has failed its self coherence test. The coolanttemp should only change at a
certain rate, if this rate is too slow or too fast this fault will set. Two trip fault. Three good trips to clear MIL.
ETC light will illuminate on first trip failure.

Diagnostic Test
1.ACTIVE DTC
Ignition on, engine not running.
NOTE: If this code sets during extreme ambient temperatures, improper installation of a block heater could
be the cause of this DTC.
With a scan tool, read DTCs.

2.LOW COOLANT LEVEL
NOTE: If a Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) DTC is set along with this code,diagnose the ECT DTC first.
NOTE: Inspect the ECT terminals and related PCM terminals. Ensure the terminals are free from corrosion
and damage.
NOTE: The best way to diagnose this DTC is to allow the vehicle to sit overnight outside in order to have
a totally cold soaked engine.
NOTE: Extremely cold outside ambient temperatures may have caused this DTCtoset.
NOTE: Need to make sure that no Cooling System DTCs are set or changes that would make the warm up
much slower or much faster: broken water pump can set this, addition of aftermarket auxiliary cooler can
set this DTC.
WARNING: Never open the cooling system when the engine is hot. The system isunder pressure. Failure to
follow these instructions can result in personal injury or death. Allow the engine to cool before opening the
cooling system.

For a complete wiring diagramRefer to Section 8W.
When Monitored:
Ignition on. No Break or APPS faults present.
Set Condition:
The PCM recognizes a brake application following the APPS showing a fixed pedal opening. Temporary or
permanent. Internally the PCM will reduce throttle opening below driver demand. One trip fault and the code
will be set within 5 seconds. ETC light will illuminate, the light will onlystay illuminated while DTC is active.
Possible Causes
CUSTOMER PRESSING ACCLERATOR PEDAL, THEN PRESSING BRAKE PEDAL, AND CONTINUES
HOLDING THEM DOWN SIMULTANEOUSLY
STOP LAMP SWITCH

Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE -
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
Diagnostic Test
1.DTC INFORMATION
NOTE: If a pedal assembly becomes mechanically stuck the voltage output will stay fixed, if this is also
Followed by a long application of the brakes this code will set.
NOTE: When this code sets the pedal position in the PCM software will ramp toidle. If the Pedal voltage
changes OR the brake pedal is released, the pedal position in the PCM software will ramp up to the pedal
position and the ETC light will go out.
With a scan tool, read DTCs and record the related Freeze Frame data.
Diagnose all other Stop Lamp Switch and APP Sensor codes before continuing.
This code can be set by a driver who uses both feet while driving, one for the Accelerator Pedal and the other for
the Brake Pedal.
NOTE: The most likely cause of this DTC is caused by the customer Brake Torquing the engine by pressing
the Accelerator pedal and the pressing the Brake Pedal.
Ask the driver of the vehicle if these conditions apply to their driving habits.
Are the listed conditions part of the customers driving habits?
Ye s>>
Advise the customer of what caused the DTC. This is normal operation of a ETCequipped vehicle
because of safety issues.
Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)

2.STOP LAMP SWITCH OPERATION
With a scan tool, read both Stop Lamp Switch statuses while pressing and releasing the Brake Pedal.
Does the scan tool display the Pressed and Released while pressing and releasing the Pedal?

No>>
Check the Stop Lamp Switch for proper installation and check the related circuits for opens and shorts
using the appropriate wiring diagram. If OK, replace the Stop Lamp Switch assembly.
