Diagnostic Fault Information
Typical Scan Tool Data
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, connected to a 5 V reference circuit, a low reference circuit, and a signal circuit. The ECM supplies 5 V to the BPP sensor, and also provides a sensor ground path on the low reference circuit. 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.
Conditions for Running the DTC
P057C and P057D
Ignition voltage is greater than 10 V.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
P057C
BPP sensor voltage is less than 0.25 V for 1 second.
P057D
BPP sensor voltage is greater than 4.75 V for 1 second.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* DTCs P057C and P057D are type B DTCs
* Engine torque is reduced to 50 percent of available engine torque.
* Brake torque management is active at 25 kpa (3.7 PSI) of brake apply pressure.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
P057C and P057D are type B DTCs.

Circuit/System Verification
1. Ignition ON, engine OFF, transmission in PARK, service brake pedal released.
2. Verify with a scan tool the ECM Brake Pedal Position Sensor parameter in the Automatic Transmission Data list displays greater than.25 V.
• If.25 V or less
Refer to Circuit/System Testing below.
• If greater than.25 V
3. Verify with a scan tool the 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 4.75 V or greater, or the parameter does not change
Refer to Circuit/System Testing below.
• If less than 4.75 V and parameter changes
4. Verify with a scan tool the 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
Command the Brake Pedal Position Sensor Learn Brake Pedal Position Sensor Learn with a scan tool.
• If difference is 0.1 V or less
5. Verify the Brake Pedal Position parameter transitions smoothly without any spikes or dropouts when slowly applying and releasing the brake.
• If parameter does not transition smoothly or has spikes or dropouts
Refer to Circuit/System Testing below.
• If parameter transitions smoothly and there are no spikes or dropouts
6. Test for intermittent conditions. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections.
• If intermittent or poor connections
Refer to Circuit Testing Circuit Testing.
• If no intermittent or poor connections
7. 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.
8. Verify the DTC does not set.
• If the DTC sets
Refer to Circuit/System Testing below.
• If the DTC does not set
9. All OK. Do not perform the Circuit/System or Component Testing as this may result in unnecessary part replacement.
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 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down.
2. Test for less than 10 ohms between the low reference circuit terminal 5 and ground.
• If 10 ohms or greater
1. Ignition OFF and all systems OFF, 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 volts
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K20 engine control module.
