Brake Pedal Position (BPP)

The Brake Pedal Position (BPP) switch is mounted on the brake pedal bracket.

It switches the stoplights on and tells the PCM when the brakes are applied.

The signal of the BPP switch is used by the PCM for the following functions:

- to release the TCC when the brake pedal is depressed.
- to switch off the selector lever Brake Shift Interlock Actuator (BSIA) when the brake pedal is depressed in PARK.

No substitute signal is available for the BPP switch.

If the connection to the BPP switch is cut, the manual selector lever cannot be moved out of PARK.
