Conditions for Setting the DTC
DTC C0277 06 will set for the following conditions:
* The BCM detects a short to ground or an open/high resistance in the brake pedal position sensor signal circuit.
* The BCM detects a short to ground or an open/high resistance in the brake pedal position sensor 5 V reference circuit.
DTC C0277 07 will set for the following conditions:
* The BCM detects a short to battery voltage in the brake pedal position sensor signal circuit.
* The BCM detects an open/high resistance in the brake pedal position sensor low reference circuit.
C0277 09
The BCM detects the brake pedal position sensor signal is changing faster than possible under normal operating conditions.
C0277 4B
The brake pedal position sensor home position is not learned.
Actions Taken When the DTC Sets
* The Service Brake Assist indicator is commanded ON.
* If the DTC sets while the vehicle is running, the BCM will activate the brake lights when the vehicles transmission is not in the PARK
position and the vehicle is not accelerating.
* For DTC C0277 4B the stop lamps may not activate at the expected brake pedal positions.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
* The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.
* For DTC C0277 07 the ignition must be cycled before the code can be cleared.
* For DTC C0277 4B a successful brake pedal position sensor calibration has been performed.
* A history DTC will clear once 50 malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred.
* A DTC will not clear the current status until the next ignition cycle.

Circuit/System Testing
C0277 06 and C0277 07, C0890 03, and C0890 07
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the brake pedal position sensor.
2. Ignition OFF, verify that a test lamp illuminates between B+ and the low reference circuit terminals listed below:
* Terminal A (LHD)
* Terminal C (RHD)
瀚慖f the test lamp does not illuminate, test the low reference circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests
normal, replace the BCM.
