DTC Confirmation ProcedureNBS004ED
CAUTION:
Always drive vehicle at a safe speed.
NOTE:

If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously conducted, always turn ignition switch OFF and wait
at least 10 seconds before conducting the next test.

Procedure for malfunction B is not described here. It takes extremely long time to complete procedure for
malfunction B. By performing procedure for malfunction A, the incident that causes malfunction B can be
detected.
TESTING CONDITION:

dure" .
If 1st trip DTC is not detected, go to the following step.
5. Drive the vehicle for at least 5 consecutive seconds under the following conditions.
6. If 1st trip DTC is detected, go to EC-1205, "
Diagnostic Procedure" .
WITH GST
Follow the procedure “WITH CONSULT-II” above.

Specification data are reference values and are measured between each terminal and ground.
CAUTION:
Do not use ECM ground terminals when measuring input/output voltage. Doing so may result in dam-
age to the ECM's transistor. Use a ground other than ECM terminals, such as the ground.
Diagnostic ProcedureNBS004EF
1. CHECK OVERALL FUNCTION-I
With CONSULT-II
1. Turn ignition switch ON.

DTC P1572 ASCD BRAKE SWITCHPFP:25320
Component DescriptionNBS004EH
When the brake pedal is depressed, ASCD brake switch is turned
OFF and stop lamp switch is turned ON. ECM detects the state of
the brake pedal by this input of two kinds (ON/OFF signal).
Refer to EC-696, "
AUTOMATIC SPEED CONTROL DEVICE
(ASCD)" for the ASCD function.
CONSULT-II Reference Value in Data Monitor ModeNBS004EI
Specification data are reference values.
On Board Diagnosis LogicNBS004EJ
This self-diagnosis has the one trip detection logic.
The MIL will not light up for this diagnosis.
NOTE:

If DTC P1572 is displayed with DTC P0605, first perform the trouble diagnosis for DTC P0605.
Refer to EC-1146, "
DTC P0605 ECM" .

This self-diagnosis has the one trip detection logic. When malfunction A is detected, DTC is not
stored in ECM memory. And in that case, 1st trip DTC and 1st trip freeze frame data are displayed.
1st trip DTC is erased when ignition switch OFF. And even when malfunction A is detected in two
consecutive trips, DTC is not stored in ECM memory.
