C0562Brake Pedal Position Sensor Supply Voltage Circuit/Open
- Generic OBD-II code · Chassis
- Can trigger limp mode
- How the car detects it
- Hybrids, EVs and brake-by-wire cars measure how hard the driver wants to brake with a contactless pedal angle or travel sensor. Bosch builds these with a magnetic field sensor on a 5 V supply and two redundant outputs, often pulse-width modulated, so the module can cross-check them. C0562 reports that this 5 V feed is interrupted – the module sees no usable supply at all, unlike C056D (too low) and C056E (too high). No maker publishes a C0562 threshold; Ford's hybrids watch the same supply for a window of 4.87–5.13 V over 50 ms. Without the sensor the module cannot split braking between regeneration and friction, so regenerative braking and some assist functions are lost.
- What you may notice
- Brake system or ABS warning lamp
- Regenerative braking reduced or off, pedal feel changes
- Brake lights or cruise control affected on some cars
- Likely causes
- LikelyBroken 5 V supply wire or pin pushed out at the pedal sensor
- PossibleSensor connector loose or left unplugged after pedal-area work
- PossibleInternal open circuit in the pedal sensor
- RareBrake module no longer providing the 5 V reference
