Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Dodge Durango. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. VERIFY THE DTC IS ACTIVE 
    1. Turn the ignition on.
    2. With the scan tool, read and record the DTCs.
    3. With the scan tool, read and record the Environmental Data to help identify the conditions in which the DTC was set.
    4. With the scan tool, erase the DTCs.
    5. Start the engine.
    6. Slowly press the brake pedal and release.
    7. With the scan tool, read and record the DTCs.

      Is the DTC active at this time?

      Yes 

      • Go To  2

      No 

  2. INSPECT THE BRAKE PEDAL POSITION (BPP) SENSOR FOR INCORRECT INSTALLATION, DAMAGE OR MECHANICAL FAILURE 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Visually inspect the BPP Sensor for Improper installation, damage or mechanical failure. Refer to SENSOR, STOP LAMP, INSTALLATION .

      Were any problems found?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go To  3
  3. (B137) BPP SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO VOLTAGE 
    1. Disconnect the ABS Module harness connector.
    2. Disconnect the BPP Sensor harness connector.
    3. Turn the ignition on.
    4. Measure the voltage of the (B137) BPP Sensor Signal circuit in the BPP Sensor harness connector.

      Is there any voltage present?

      Yes 

      • Repair the (B137) BPP Sensor Signal circuit for a short to voltage.
      • Perform the ABS VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to ABS VERIFICATION TEST  .

      No 

      • Go To  4
  4. (B937) BPP SENSOR RETURN CIRCUIT SHORTED TO VOLTAGE 
    1. Measure the voltage of the (B937) BPP Sensor Return circuit in the BPP Sensor harness connector.

      Is there any voltage present?

      Yes 

      • Repair the (B937) BPP Sensor Return circuit for a short to voltage.
      • Perform the ABS VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to ABS VERIFICATION TEST  .

      No 

      • Go To  5
  5. (B237) BPP SENSOR FEED CIRCUIT SHORTED TO THE (B137) BPP SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT 
    1. Measure the resistance between the (B237) BPP Sensor Feed circuit and the (B137) BPP Sensor Signal circuit in the BPP Sensor harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Repair the (B237) BPP Sensor Feed circuit and the (B137) BPP Sensor Signal circuit for a short.
      • Perform the ABS VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to ABS VERIFICATION TEST  .

      No 

      • Go To  6
  6. BRAKE PEDAL POSITION (BPP) SENSOR 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Connect the ABS Module harness connector.
    3. Turn the ignition on.
    4. Measure the voltage at the BPP Sensor harness connector between the (B237) BPP Sensor Feed and the (B937) BPP Sensor Return.

      Is the voltage above 4.75 volts?

      Yes 

      No
