Brake Pedal Position (BPP) Switch

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 25 other vehicles, including the 2013 Lincoln Navigator, 2013 Lincoln MKZ, 2013 Lincoln MKX, 2013 Lincoln MKT, and 2013 Lincoln MKS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The BPP switch is sometimes referred to as the stoplamp switch. The BPP switch provides a signal to the PCM indicating the brakes are applied. The BPP switch is normally open and mounted on the brake pedal support. The BPP switch supplies battery positive (B+) voltage to the PCM when the brake pedal is applied.
