What Is Brake Pedal Position Sensor (BPPS) Relearn?
The Brake Pedal Position Sensor (BPPS) relearn function allows your vehicle's control modules to accurately detect and respond to the position of the brake pedal. This sensor is essential for systems like ABS, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), and Adaptive Cruise Control.
When you replace the brake pedal sensor, update the ECU, or perform repairs on the brake system (such as replacing the master cylinder), a relearn procedure is often required to ensure proper system operation. Failure to perform a BPPS relearn may result in warning lights, system malfunction, or degraded braking performance.
The relearn process typically involves using a diagnostic tool to access the system, then following guided steps to calibrate the sensor by pressing and releasing the pedal as instructed.
Not all vehicles require or support this function, and compatibility depends on the make, model, and year.
