Brake Pedal Position Sensor Calibration

Calibration Criteria

Brake pedal position sensor calibration must be performed after the brake pedal position sensor or body control module (BCM) have been serviced. The calibration procedure will set brake pedal position sensor home value. This value is used by the BCM to determine the action of the driver applying the brake system and to provide this information to the vehicle subsystems via the class 2 communication bus.


Calibration Procedure

1. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
2. Install a scan tool, select the proper vehicle and options.
3. Select the BPP sensor calibration procedure from the BCM and follow the directions displayed on the screen.
