Title: A25A-FKS (ENGINE CONTROL): SFI SYSTEM (w/ Canister Pump Module): P05042B; Brake Switch "A"/"B" Signal Cross Coupled; 2019 - 2020 MY RAV4 [11/2018 - 08/2020]

DTC

P05042B

Brake Switch "A"/"B" Signal Cross Coupled

DESCRIPTION

The stop light switch assembly is a duplex system that transmits two signals: STP and ST1-. These two signals are used by the ECM to monitor whether or not the brake system is working properly. If the signals, which indicate the brake pedal is being depressed and released, are detected simultaneously, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the stop light switch assembly and stores this DTC.

HINT:

The normal signal conditions are as shown in the table below.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.

HINT:

  • Stop light switch assembly conditions can be checked using the Techstream.
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    3. Turn the Techstream on.
    4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / Stop Light SW.
    5. Check the Data List indication when the brake pedal is depressed and released.

  • Read Freeze Frame Data using the Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as Freeze Frame Data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, Freeze Frame Data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
