Brake Pedal Position (BPP) Switch

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The BPP  switch (also known as the stoplamp switch) is a dual contact switch. One set of contacts is normally open and receives voltage at all times. The other set of contacts is normally closed and is connected to ground.

When the normally open contacts close, the voltage is sent to the BCM-B  , PCM  and RFA  module.

When the normally closed contacts open, the ground circuit to the PCM  is momentarily interrupted.
