Circuit/System Description

The brake pedal position sensor is used to sense the action of the driver application of the brake pedal. The brake pedal position sensor provides an

analog voltage signal to the body control module (BCM). The BCM will apply battery voltage to the right, left and center stop lamp control circuits

and to the trailer brake control module if equipped.

Conditions for Running the DTC

When the brake pedal is applied.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The trailer brake control module receives a serial data message from the BCM that the brakes have been applied, but the trailer brake control

module does not detect a signal voltage on the center high mounted stop lamp control circuit.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The brake lights on the trailer will be inoperative

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* The DTC will be current for as long as the fault is present.

* When the fault is no longer present, the DTC will be a history DTC.

* A history DTC will clear after 50 ignition cycles.

Circuit/System Verification

Observe the function of the E6 center high mounted stop lamp while pressing and releasing the brake pedal. The E6 center high mounted stop lamp

should turn ON when the pedal is pressed and OFF when the pedal is released.

If the E6 center high mounted stop lamp is always ON or always OFF, refer to Stop Lamps Malfunction (See: Lighting and Horns/Testing and

Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures/Stop Lamps Malfunction)

If the E6 center high mounted stop lamp turns ON and OFF as commanded, perform the Circuit/System Testing.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the K67 trailer brake control module.

2. Connect a test lamp between the signal circuit terminal 14 and ground.

3. Ignition ON, command the Center Brake Lamp ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF while changing
