| Circuit/System Description |
The brake pedal position sensor is used to sense the action of the driver application of the brake pedal. The brake pedal position sensor provides an analog voltage signal to the body control module (BCM). The BCM will apply battery voltage to the right, left and center stop lamp control circuits.
| Conditions for Running the DTC |
The brakes are applied.
| Conditions for Setting the DTC |
B3884 02
The BCM detects a short to ground on the center high mounted brake lamp control circuitB3884 04
The BCM detects an open/high resistance on the center high mounted brake lamp control circuit| Action Taken When the DTC Sets |
The center high mounted brake lamp will not illuminate.
| Conditions for Clearing the DTC |
| • |
The DTC will be current for as long as the fault is present.
|
|
| • |
When the fault is no longer present, the DTC will be a history DTC.
|
|
| • |
A history DTC will clear after 50 ignition cycles.

| Circuit/System Verification |
Ignition ON, command the E6 center high mounted stop lamp ON and OFF by applying and releasing the brake pedal. The E6 center high mounted stop lamp should turn ON and OFF each time the brake pedal is applied and released.
| Circuit/System Testing |
| 1. |
Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the E6 center high mounted stop lamp.
|
|
| 2. |
Test for less than 30 Ω between the ground circuit terminal B and ground.
|
|
| 3. |
If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
|
|
| 4. |
Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal A and ground.
|
|
| 5. |
Ignition ON, command the center high mounted stop lamp ON and OFF by applying and releasing the brake pedal. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the selected states.
|
|
| 6. |
If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 BCM.
|
|
| 7. |
If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 BCM.
|
|
| 8. |
If all circuits test normal, replace the E6 center high mounted stop lamp.
|
|
| Repair Instructions |
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
