Brake Pedal Position Sensor

Moderate severity

What it means

The chassis or brake control module has detected an implausible signal from the brake pedal position sensor. Modern brake systems use this sensor for brake assist, regenerative braking and adaptive cruise control functions.

Is it safe to drive?

Use caution

The vehicle is usually drivable for short distances, but the problem can worsen or affect emissions. Diagnose and repair as soon as practical.
