Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
DTC P0724: Brake Switch Circuit - High Input: Description
The Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) brake switch is used to indicate the status of the brake pedal, applied or released, to the PCM. The normally-closed TCC brake switch supplies an ignition voltage input to the PCM. Applying the brake pedal opens the switch, interrupting voltage to the PCM. Releasing the brake pedal resumes voltage to the PCM. When the PCM senses zero volts at the TCC brake switch input, the PCM de-energizes the TCC solenoid valve. If the PCM detects a closed TCC brake switch, stuck off, during decelerations, then DTC P0724 sets.
