Code P0504 Toyota Description

The Stop Lamp Switch is a duplex system that transmits two signals: STP and ST1-. These two signals are used by the Engine Control Module (ECM) to monitor whether or not the brake system is working properly. If the signals, which indicate the brake pedal is being depressed and released, are detected simultaneously, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the stoplight switch and sets the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).
