Brake Pedal Position (BPP) Switch

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Mercury Mariner and 2007 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The BPP switch is a normally open switch that, when closed, sends a signal to the PCM when the brake pedal is applied. The PCM strategy uses this signal input to aid the PCM in determining the correct function and operation of the vehicle speed control, the electronic throttle control (ETC), and the transaxle and regenerative braking systems. The BPP switch is hard wired to the PCM and supplies positive battery voltage (+12 volts) when the brake pedal is applied. When the brake pedal is released, the BPP switch opens and no battery voltage input is sent to the PCM.
