Circuit/System Description

The brake pedal position sensor is used to sense the action of the driver application of the brake pedal. The brake pedal position sensor provides an analogue voltage signal that will increase as the brake pedal is applied. The body control module (BCM) provides a low reference signal and a 5 V reference voltage to the brake pedal position sensor. When the variable signal reaches a voltage threshold indicating the brakes have been applied, the BCM will apply battery voltage to the stop lamp control circuit illuminating the left and right stop lamps and the center high mounted stop lamp (CHMSL). The BCM also applies battery voltage to the transmission control module (TCM) and engine control module (ECM) via the brake applied signal circuit.

Conditions for Running the DTC

    • Battery voltage must be between 9-16 V.
    • Brakes APPLIED.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The BCM detects a short to ground in the brake applied signal circuit.

Actions Taken When the DTC Sets

The Service Vehicle Soon indicator is commanded ON.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

    • The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.
    • A history DTC will clear once 100 malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred.

Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the appropriate harness connector listed below.
  2. • ECM X1 - with LNP/LNQ
    • ECM X1 - with LF1
    • ECM X1 - with LE5/LE9
  3. Connect a test lamp between the appropriate signal circuit terminal listed below and ground.
  4. • ECM terminal 78 X1 - with LNP/LNQ
    • ECM terminal 48 X1 - with LF1
    • ECM terminal 61 X1 - with LE5/LE9
  5. Ignition ON, command the stop lamps ON and OFF by applying and releasing the brake pedal. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
  6. If the test lamp is always ON, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 BCM.
    If the test lamp is always OFF, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 BCM.
  7. Ignition OFF, connect a test lamp between the appropriate signal circuit terminal listed below at the K20 ECM harness connector and the connector terminal at the K20 ECM.
  8. • ECM terminal 78 X1 - with LNP/LNQ
    • ECM terminal 48 X1 - with LF1
    • ECM terminal 61 X1 - with LE5/LE9
  9. Ignition ON, command the stop lamps ON and OFF by applying and releasing the brake pedal. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
  10. If the test lamp does not turn ON and OFF when commanded, replace the K20 ECM.
  11. Ignition OFF, connect the harness connector at the K20 ECM.
  12. Disconnect the harness connector at the K71 TCM.
  13. Connect a test lamp between the appropriate signal circuit terminal listed below and ground.
  14. • TCM terminal 3 - with Automatic Transmission - T12
    • TCM terminal 48 - with Manual Transmission
  15. Ignition ON, command the stop lamps ON and OFF by applying and releasing the brake pedal. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
  16. If the test lamp is always ON, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 BCM.
    If the test lamp is always OFF, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 BCM.
  17. If all circuits test normal, replace the K71 TCM.
