Faulty Signal
Faulty signal
Checking the connectors
- Ignition off
- Check the connectors for the brake control module (BCM) and pedal position sensor. Check for contact resistance. Check for oxidation
- Reinstall the components, connectors, etc.
- Connect the breakout box to the brake control module (BCM)
- Ignition on
- Read off the position and speed of the pedal position sensor.
Depress the accelerator pedal (AP). Check that the signals are updated.
The signal for the pedal position sensor must increase as the brake pedal is pressed further.
Press the brake pedal at different speeds. Check that the speed signal is updated.

Was the signal updated?
Yes - Information
No - Checking the wiring and sensors
-------------------------------------------------
Checking the wiring and sensors
- Ignition off.
Check the wiring between pedal position sensor
- terminal #1 and brake control module (BCM) terminal #22 (#A22)
- terminal #2 and brake control module (BCM) terminal #21 (#A21)
- terminal #3 and brake control module (BCM) terminal #3 (#A3).
Check for an open-circuit, a short-circuit to ground and a short-circuit to supply voltage.
Check the pedal position sensor as follows
- ignition off,
- breakout box connected to the wiring,
- brake control module (BCM) disconnected.
measure the resistance at the pedal position sensor.
The resistance between terminals #3 (#A3) and #21 (#A21) must be approximately 0.5 kohms when the brake pedal is unaffected. The resistance must increase when the brake pedal is pressed.
The resistance between terminals #3 (#A3) and #22 (#A22 must be approximately 2.5 kohms when the brake pedal is unaffected. The resistance must decrease when the brake pedal is pressed.
Remedy as necessary.

Was a fault detected?
Yes - Verification
No - Information
-------------------------------------------------
Verification
Hint: After carrying out the repair, check that the fault has been remedied.
- Ignition off
- Reinstall the components, connectors, etc.
- Ignition on
- Read off the signal from the pedal position sensor.
Depress the accelerator pedal (AP). Check that the signal is updated.
The signal must increase as the brake pedal is pressed further. Depress the accelerator pedal (AP) at different speeds. Check that the signal is updated.
Was the signal updated?
Yes - Troubleshooting procedure complete
No - Fault-tracing information
-------------------------------------------------
Fault-tracing information
The fault should have been detected and remedied. As this is not the case fault-tracing has failed.
Exit fault-tracing for this diagnostic trouble code (DTC) or make another attempt.
Do you want to exit fault-tracing?
Yes - Exit Fault-Tracing
No - Attempt New Test
-------------------------------------------------
Information
Fault-tracing information
The fault should be diagnosed and remedied. Since this is not the case the fault-tracing process has failed.
Complete the fault-tracing for those fault or try again.
Do you want to terminate fault-tracing at this time?
Yes - Exit Fault-tracing
No - Attempt New Test
