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 P0719: TCC Brake Switch Circuit - Low Input: Description
The TCC brake switch indicates brake pedal status to the PCM. The TCC brake switch indicates that the brake pedal is either applied or released. The normally-closed switch supplies battery voltage to the PCM. Applying the brake pedal opens the TCC brake switch, interrupting voltage to the PCM. When the PCM receives zero volts at the TCC brake switch input, the PCM turns off the Torque Converter Clutch Pulse Width Modulation (TCC PWM) solenoid valve. DTC P0719 sets when the PCM detects an open brake switch (indicating pedal applied) during a number of accelerations.
