General Description
Brake switch monitors malfunction of Accelerator Pedal position Sensor (APS). APS and brake switch is consist of two circuits (APS 1, 2 or Brake switch 1, 2) that operate independently of each other to confirm output signal. Drivers depress brake pedal when 1) the voltage higher than driver's intension is detected due to APS malfunction (signal circuit short to high voltage) 2) engine power generates excessively due to fault signal. Like previous example, if driver's intension to decelerate is transmitted to ECM (brake pedal depressed) when APS signal is high, ECM consider APS to be fault and Limp Home mode is activated. When Limp Home mode is activated, engine speed is fixed at 1200RPM and driving performance is limited, later, if correct APS signal is detected, Limp Home mode is deactivated immediately.
DTC Description
P2299 is set when brake signal is inputted to ECM for more than 3 sec. while APS is depressed more than 5% at below 880RPM and 2kph. And Limp Home mode is activated with the DTC code occurrence. Later, if correct APS signal is detected, Limp Home mode is deactivated immediately. This code is set when APS signal is a bit higher than the voltage at accelerator released position and driver's pedal manipulation, therefore careful inspection of APS and checking driver's pedal depressing habit is required.

Specification
? APS output voltage?
| Pedal released | Pedal depressed | Sensor Type |

APS 1 resistance | 'Supply' terminal ? 'Ground' terminal | 0.6 ~ 1.4 k? ( 20?) |
Diagnostic Circuit Diagram
Signal Waveform & Data
Fig.1) APS 1 signal and APS 2 signal are measured simultaneously, Check if output value is rising and APS 2 signal is 1/2 of APS 1 signal.
? APS 2 ground checking signal is for ECM to monitor APS 2. This signal drops APS 2 output voltage to below 200.39mV per 200msec. If APS 2 output voltage does not drop to below 200.39mV, ECM sets DTC as recognizing ground circuit error of APS 2 .
