Brake Pedal Position Sensor: A device that measures the position of the brake pedal.
Circuit Low: Indicates that the voltage in the circuit is lower than expected.
• C1063
• C1064
This code means that the car's computer is having trouble reading the position of the brake pedal. It's like when you can't tell if a light switch is on or off.
The brake pedal position sensor is not sending the correct voltage signal to the car's computer, indicating a low circuit issue.
C1062 indicates a problem with the electrical circuit of the brake pedal position sensor, specifically that the voltage signal is lower than expected. This sensor helps the vehicle's computer understand how much the brake pedal is being pressed.
• Inspect the brake pedal position sensor for damage
• Check the wiring and connectors for any signs of wear or corrosion
• Measure the voltage signal from the sensor using a multimeter
• Replace the brake pedal position sensor if faulty
• Repair or replace damaged wiring or connectors
• Ensure all electrical connections are secure
• Multimeter
• Screwdriver set
• OBD-II scanner

• Regularly inspect wiring and connectors
• Keep the brake pedal area clean and free of debris
• Perform routine maintenance checks
Sensor Issue
• Do not ignore the warning light on the dashboard
• Have the vehicle inspected by a professional if unsure
• Avoid using cruise control until the issue is fixed
Check with the vehicle manufacturer for specific warranty coverage on sensors.
This code has been commonly reported in vehicles with high mileage or those frequently driven in harsh conditions.
Moderate – It is important to address this issue to ensure proper brake function and vehicle safety.
Driving with malfunctioning brake lights can be illegal and unsafe. Address the issue promptly.
• Vehicle must be on a flat surface
• Ignition in the 'on' position without starting the engine
The brake pedal position sensor is typically located near the brake pedal assembly inside the vehicle cabin.
Q: Can I drive with a C1062 code?
A: It's not recommended as it may affect your brake lights and cruise control functionality.
Q: How do I reset the C1062 code?
A: After fixing the issue, use an OBD-II scanner to clear the code from the vehicle's computer.
