Brake light switch and brake pedal
switch, checking


Note:
For safety reasons, the instruction from the
accelerator pedal sensor (potentiometer) to the
ECM to open the throttle valve is suppressed
when brake is being operated. This requires the
brake light switch signal and also the brake pedal
switch signal in the control module.
If brake pedal is operated with accelerator pedal
constantly depressed, engine is immediately
regulated down to idle speed. A faulty switch can
lead to undesired regulation.

Test sequence

- Connect VAS5051 tester or VAG1551 scan tool
and select the control module for engine
electronics using "address word" 01 Page 01

Note:
This signal helps prevent excessive RPM
oscillations and tip-in shocks when clutch is
disengaged and is required for the cruise control
system.
