Brake Pedal Position Switch Signal Circuit Troubleshooting

  1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
  2. Check the BRAKE SWITCH in the DATA LIST with the HDS.

    Does it indicate OFF? 

    YES  - Go to step 3.

    NO  - Inspect the brake pedal position switch (see BRAKE PEDAL AND BRAKE PEDAL POSITION SWITCH ADJUSTMENT ).

  3. Press the brake pedal, and check the BRAKE SWITCH in the DATA LIST with the HDS.

    Does it change to ON? 

    YES  - The brake pedal position switch signal circuit (BKSW line) is OK.

    NO  - Go to step 4.

  4. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  5. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
  6. Disconnect the brake pedal position switch 4P connector.
  7. Disconnect PCM connector A (49P).
