Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Cadillac DTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

C0277 06, C0277 07, and C0890 03

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the brake pedal position sensor.
  2. Ignition OFF, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the low reference circuit terminal C and B+.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  3. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 volts between the 5-volt reference circuit terminal A and ground.
    • If less than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  4. Verify the scan tool BPP Sensor parameter is less than 2 counts.
    • If greater than the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal B for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  5. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between B+ and the 5-volt reference circuit terminal A. Verify the scan tool BPP Sensor parameter is greater than 1000 counts.
    • If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  6. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the brake pedal position sensor.

C0277 09

  1. Replace the brake pedal position sensor.
  2. Perform the scan tool BPP Sensor Calibration procedure.
  3. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running and Setting the DTC and verify the DTC does not reset.
    • If the DTC resets, replace the BCM.

C0277 4B

  1. Verify that the DTC sets under the Conditions for Running and Setting.
  2. Perform the brake pedal position sensor recalibration procedure. Refer to Brake Pedal Position Sensor Calibration .
  3. Operate the vehicle within the conditions that the customer experienced and verify the DTC does not reset.
    • If the DTC resets, replace the brake pedal position sensor.
