Circuit Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Toyota RAV4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
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.
A fail-safe function is provided so that the vehicle functions normally if there is a malfunction in the stop light signal circuit.
The cancel condition occurs when the battery positive voltage is supplied to terminal STP.
When the stop light switch is on, battery positive voltage is applied through the STOP fuse and the stop light switch to terminal STP of the ECM, and the ECM turns the cruise control OFF.
If the harness connected to terminal STP has an open circuit, terminal STP will have battery positive voltage and the cruise control will be turned OFF.
