Also, hybrids and battery electric vehicles use the input from a brake pedal sensor for regenerative braking. With the stop light switch ON, the brake pedal load sensing switch OFF, and the master cylinder pressure 870 psi or more, the vehicle speed is 0 mph for 5 seconds or more. Another common code is C0277.
