Brake Pedal
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Jaguar XKR, 2011 Jaguar XK, 2010 Jaguar XKR, and 2010 Jaguar XK. 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 engine control module (ECM). The second switch connects battery power from the central junction box (CJB) to the:
- Auxiliary junction box (AJB)
- Central junction box (CJB)
- Engine control module (ECM)
- Electronic parking brake (EPB) module.
