Circuit/System Description

The brake pedal position (BPP) sensor is part of the engine brake pedal override feature. The engine control module (ECM) continuously monitors the vehicle speed and the position of the brake pedal. These two main inputs, along with other ECM inputs are used to determine if the vehicle is decelerating at the proper speed and rate with the brake pedal applied. When the engine brake pedal override system is active, the ECM reduces engine torque to assist in reducing vehicle speed.

The BPP sensor is a three wire sensor, and is part of a dual brake position sensor. The ECM supplies a 5 V reference circuit, low reference circuit, and signal circuit to the BPP sensor. The BPP sensor sends a voltage signal to the ECM on the signal circuit. The voltage on the signal circuit will vary from a voltage greater than 0.25 V when the brake pedal is released to a voltage less than 4.75 V when the brake pedal is fully applied.

Circuit/System Verification

1. Ignition ON.

2. Verify DTC P0641, P0651, P0697, or P06A3 is not set.

• If any of the DTCs are set

Refer to DTC P0641, P0651, P0697, or P06A3 (ECM) Powertrain Management (ECM).

• If none of the DTCs are set

3. Ignition ON, engine OFF, transmission in Park, service brake pedal released.

4. Verify the scan tool ECM Brake Pedal Position Sensor parameter in the Automatic Transmission Data list displays greater than 0.25 V.

• If 0.25 V or less

Refer to Circuit/System Testing.

• If greater than 0.25 V

5. Verify the scan tool Brake Pedal Position Sensor parameter changes as the brake pedal is applied and displays less than 4.75 V when the brake pedal is fully applied.

• If the voltage does not change or 4.75 V or greater
Refer to Circuit/System
Testing.

• If the voltage changes and less than 4.75 V

6. Verify the scan tool Brake Pedal Position Sensor Learned Home Position parameter is within 0.1 V of the Brake Pedal Position Sensor parameter when the brake pedal is fully released.

• If difference is greater than 0.1 V
Perform the Brake Pedal Position Sensor Learn Programming and Relearning.

• If difference is 0.1 V or less

7. Verify the scan tool Brake Pedal Position Sensor parameter transitions smoothly without any spikes or dropouts when slowly applying and releasing the brake pedal.

• If parameter does not transition smoothly or has spikes or dropouts
Refer to Circuit/System
Testing.

• If parameter transitions smoothly and there are no spikes or dropouts

8. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.

9. Verify the DTC does not set.

• If the DTC sets
Refer to Circuit/System Testing.

• If the DTC does not set

10. All OK.

Circuit/System Testing

Note: You must perform the Circuit/System Verification first.

1. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the harness connector from the B22 Brake Pedal Position Sensor. It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down.

Note: All terminal references are for the vehicle harness brake pedal position sensor connector.

2. Test for less than 10 ohms between the low reference circuit terminal 5 and ground.

• If 10 ohms or greater

1. Disconnect the harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module.

2. Test for less than 2 ohms in the low reference circuit end to end.

• If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

• If less than 2 ohms, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

• If less than 10 ohms

3. Ignition ON.

4. Test for 4.8-5.2 V between the 5 V reference circuit terminal 6 and ground.

• If less than 4.8 V

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module.

2. Test for infinite resistance between the 5 V reference circuit and ground

• If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit

• If infinite resistance

3. Test for less than 2 ohms in the 5 V reference circuit end to end.
