Brake Pedal
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 12 other vehicles, including the 2015 Jaguar XKR-S, 2015 Jaguar XKR, 2015 Jaguar XK, 2014 Jaguar XKR-S, and 2014 Jaguar XKR. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The brake pedal is mounted in a bracket attached to the rear side of the engine bulkhead. The bracket also contains the accelerator pedal. A clevis pin connects the brake pedal to the push rod of the brake booster.
The stoplamp switch is mounted in the brake pedal bracket and operated by the brake pedal. There are two switches in the stoplamp switch, which close when the brake pedal is pressed to output 'brake applied' signals. When closed, one switch connects a ground to the ECM (engine control module). The second switch connects battery power from the CJB (central junction box) to the:
- AJB (auxiliary junction box)
- CJB
- ECM
- EPB (electronic parking brake) module.
