1. Stop Lamps Malfunction

 

Circuit/System Description

The brake pedal position (BPP) sensor is used to sense the action of the driver application of the brake pedal. The brake pedal position (BPP) sensor provides an analog 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 and center high mounted stop lamp control circuit . When the control circuit is energized the stop lamps are illuminated.

Circuit/System Verification

1. Ignition ON, observe the scan tool Brake Lamps Command parameter. The reading should be between Inactive/Active and change when the brake pedal is applied/unapplied.
If the parameter does not cycle between the specified values, refer to Brake Pedal Position Sensor Malfunction.
2. The left and right brake lamps should be ON when the brake pedal is applied and OFF when the brake pedal is unapplied.
If the brake lamps are not ON/OFF, refer to Brake Lamps Malfunction.
If the brake lamps turn ON and OFF replace the B22 Brake Pedal Position Sensor.

Circuit/System Testing

Brake Pedal Position Sensor Malfunction

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B22 Brake Pedal Position Sensor.
2. Ignition OFF, test for less than 5 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal A and ground.
If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
3. Ignition ON, command the appropriate Brake Lamp test with a scan tool. The brake lamps should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
If the brake lamps do not turn ON and OFF replace the K9 Body Control Module.

Brake Lamps Malfunction

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the appropriate harness connector at the appropriate tail lamp listed below:
  •  E42L Tail Lamp Assembly - Left
  •  E42R Tail Lamp Assembly - Right
2. Test for less than 5 Ω between the appropriate ground circuit harness connector terminal listed below and ground:
  •  E42L Tail Lamp Assembly - Left terminal B
  •  E42R Tail Lamp Assembly - Right terminal C
If greater than the specified value, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
3. Connect a test lamp between the appropriate control circuit harness connector terminal listed below and ground:
  •  E42L Tail Lamp Assembly - Left terminal D
  •  E42R Tail Lamp Assembly - Right terminal A
4. Command the Center Brake Lamp test with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
5. If all circuits test normal, replace the appropriate tail lamp.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
