PO703 2002 Stratus

Pepboys is telling me this is a torque converter solenoid problem PO703. On a earlier engine light check, I was told it was the brake lights, but they were working fine. After looking up the code myself, it said it was a brake light switch stuck open or shut? What is the truth? If anyone can tell me, please let me know. I can disconnet the battery and clear the code, but it will come back. I would really appreciate your ideas.

The PCM monitors changes in input voltage from the brake switch. If the PCM does not detect PCM terminal 1AU voltage changes while alternately accelerating and decelerating 8 times, the PCM determines that brake switch circuit has malfunctioned.

• Brake switch malfunction
• Poor connection of brake switch connector or PCM connector
• Short to power supply in wiring harness between brake switch terminal D and PCM connector terminal 1AU
• Open circuit in wiring harness between brake switch terminal D and PCM connector terminal 1AU
• Open circuit in wiring harness between battery positive terminal and brake switch terminal A
• PCM malfunction

I don't no that this makes any since, but I was reading on another forem a few weeks back about same problem you are having, Code saying break switch, but it was working fine it had p0703 code, It seems it is tied in to cruze control switch on accelerator linkage they work together some how, Any way if it is out of adj or bad will throw same code might ask around about that ? I will try to go back and find link for you it might be helpfull , description of car was same as yours "02"dodge stratus
