Circuit/System Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Buick Lucerne. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The body control module (BCM) provides a 5-volt reference voltage and a low reference signal to the brake pedal position sensor (BPPS). When the brake pedal is applied, the BPPS sends a variable voltage signal, that will increase as the brake pedal is applied, through the stop lamp switch signal circuit to the BCM. The BCM then applies a signal through the stop lamp switch signal circuit to the engine control module (ECM) and transmission control module (TCM).
