Title: CRUISE CONTROL: CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM: DESCRIPTION (2008 LX570)

DTC

P0571

Brake Switch "A" Circuit

DESCRIPTION

When the brake pedal is depressed, the stop light switch sends a signal to the ECM. When the ECM receives this signal, it cancels the cruise control. The fail-safe function operates to enable normal driving even if there is a malfunction in the stop light signal circuit. The cancellation condition occurs when voltage is applied to terminal STP. When the brake is applied, voltage is applied to terminal STP of the ECM through the STOP fuse and the stop light switch, and the ECM turns the cruise control off.
