Signal Circuit Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Hyundai Sonata. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

■ Short Check (to Ground) 

  1. IG "OFF".
  2. Disconnect the Brake Pedal Travel sensor, AHB connectors.
  3. Measure resistance between PDT signal terminal of the Brake Pedal Travel sensor harness connector and chassis ground.

    Specification:  Approx. ∞ Ω

  4. Is the measured value within specifications?

    YES 

    • Go to next procedure.

    NO 

    • Repair short to ground in PDT signal circuit between the Brake Pedal Travel sensor harness connector and AHB harness connector and then, go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR "

■ Short Check (to Battery) 

  1. Ignition "ON" & Engine "OFF".
  2. Disconnect the Brake Pedal Travel sensor, AHB connectors.
  3. Measure voltage between PDT signal terminal of the Brake Pedal Travel sensor harness connector and chassis ground.

    Specification:  Approx. 0 V
