Brake Pedal Position Switch Signal Circuit Troubleshooting

  1. Check the brake lights.

    Are the brake lights on without pressing the brake pedal? 

    1. YES  - Inspect the brake pedal position switch (see PARKING BRAKE SWITCH TEST ).
    2. NO  - Go to step 2.
  2. Press the brake pedal.

    Do the brake lights come on? 

    1. YES  - Go to step 3.
    2. NO  - Go to step  4.
  3. Measure voltage between ECM/PCM connector terminals A24 and E22 with the brake pedal pressed.

    Is there battery voltage? 

    1. YES  - The brake pedal position switch signal is OK.
    2. NO  - Repair open in the wire between the ECM/PCM (E22) and the brake pedal position switch.
  4. Inspect the No. 7 HORN, STOP (15A) fuse in the under hood fuse/relay box.

    Is the fuse OK? 

    1. YES  - Repair open in the wire between the brake pedal position switch and the No. 7 HORN, STOP (15 A) fuse. Inspect the brake pedal position switch (see PARKING BRAKE SWITCH TEST ).
    2. NO  - Repair short in the wire between the ECM/PCM (E22) and the No. 7 HORN, STOP (15A) fuse. Replace the No. 7 HORN, STOP (15A) fuse.
