I have code p0573 saying brake switch A is high al - help.jpg What does this mean? When is the code detected?
The P0573 codes is set when the stop light switch signal is too high.
Possible symptoms
- Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
- Stop light inoperative
- Cruise control system inoperative
P0573 Description
When the brake pedal is depressed, the stop light switch sends a signal to the Engine Control Module (ECM). When the ECM receives this signal, it cancels the cruise control.

SOURCE: P0573 code on a 2005 Dodge ram hemi, replace speed

P0573 is for your brake switch stuck. It means you either have a bad brake switch, or a bad wire.

Trouble code po483 and po573, what are they?

P0483 Cooling Fan Rationality Check Malfunction
This code is set when the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor signal fails to rise above 15 mV (~1°F) after 2.5 minutes of operation. You probably need a new ECT sensor.

P0573 Cruise Control/Brake Switch A Circuit High
This can be caused when the brake switch is set too high. Possibly a faulty brake switch.
