System
Brake Control Module (BCM)
Volvo models this fault code applies to
Applies to the following models:
1 modelV60 (2011–)
Show models by year and engine (2)
What does this fault code mean?
On the V60, the brake control module (BCM) has detected a short to ground in the supply to the brake pedal angle sensor. The sensor needs a supply to measure the pedal position, so without it the pedal signal becomes incorrect.
Possible causes
- Brake pedal angle sensor shorted to ground
- Damaged wiring to the brake pedal angle sensor
- Damaged brake pedal angle sensor
What you can do
- 1Read and note the code, clear it and road test the car to see whether it returns
- 2Look for damage in the wiring to the brake pedal angle sensor, particularly where it may have chafed against ground
- 3Check the angle sensor with diagnostic equipment and replace it if damaged
- 4The braking system is safety critical: do not work on the brake pedal sensor yourself; leave this to a workshop, and drive carefully until the fault is fixed
Symptoms you may notice4
