Brake Pedal Sensor



Brake Pedal Sensor

Outputs from the brake pedal sensor are supplied to the ECM to enable the system to detect when the brakes are applied. The brake pedal sensor is a Hall effect sensor that produces two outputs. Both outputs should be 0 to 2 volts while the brake pedal is released. When the brake pedal is pressed, the Brake Lamp Switch (BLS) output increases to between 6 and battery volts, the Brake Test Switch (BTS) output increases to between 10 and battery volts.
