About $20 for a new brake light switch that can be installed in about 15 minutes or less usually, may be good insurance for a long distance drive. The code doesn't say it's a switch malfunction, the computer has seen a fault in the brake switch circuit and set the code-could just be a poor connection there.
More important, how do the brake lights work? I think I'd buy the switch or check the connector by the pedal at least. The computer may not let the cruise control work because of the code.

SOURCE: Ihave code p0703 brake switch,what can I do?

P0703 (M) Brake Switch Stuck Pressed or Released Incorrect input state detected in the brake switch circuit (Changed from P1595).

The switch cost like 20 bucks. It is located on the brake pedal, it will either be in front of or behind the pedal at the top. It will have a plunger that contacts the pedal, and an electrical pig tail. usually you just twist it and pull it out kinda like a headlamp.

Hope this help (remember rated and comment this).

Most common problem causing this code is the purge solenoid. A quick smoke test will show if you have any leaks in the system. If no leaks and the fuel cap is installed properly it's the purge solenoid.

Sounds speedmeeter is going haywire. Like everything in today's automobiles they are made with plastic gears. Some can be unscrewed under the stearing wheel others are not. The problem with the brake light break pads were probably stuck.I would say that your speedometer is not removable to many people disconnecting them for low milage on vehicle when trading or selling.

the emission code are the first you should check it is more than likely a vacum leak but if you let it go too long it will damage the catalytic converter and 02 sensors

2010 Suzuki Kizashi SE 2.4. I recently replaced the motor and ECM. It will crank but won't start, I have 3 codes P062f, P0703, and U0100.

Question edited for clarity

The ECM and the engine need to be from the same vehicle and then the ECM needs programming with your VIN Number and your mileage.

Code U0100 What Does the U0100 Code Mean? DTC U0100 stands for "Lost Communication with ECM/PCM 'A. '" It is triggered once there is a loss of communication between your PCM and a particular module. Once this happens, the vehicle may shut off and it may not restart unless you address the issue triggering the code.May 2, 2021

U0100 Code: Lost Communication with ECM/PCM "A"

https://www.carparts.com > blog > u0100-code-lost-comm...
Search for:

P062f - generic PCM eprom code, means the pcm either has an internal fault, or its internal memory is well and truly scrambled.

How can fix code P0703 on mazda 6i v6 2005

The conditions that set this code are as follows:

The PCM monitors changes in input voltage on Brake Switch No. 1. If the PCM does not sense voltage changes at PCM terminal 82 when alternately accelerated and decelerated 8 times, the PCM determines that brake switch No. 1 has a malfunction

Possible Causes are:
  • Brake Switch malfunction
  • connector or terminal malfunction
  • Short to power circuit between Brake Switch terminal D and PCM terminal 82
  • Open circuit between Brake Switch terminal D and PCM terminal 82
  • Malfunctioning PCM
