perform diagnostic test on the CC system by following steps below. let me know what code/s you retrieve, if any.

Okay, this indicates a fault with the brake pedal position switch, most likely the switch itself is faulty but first ensure that the wiring is connected properly and not damaged. the BPP switch is located on the brake pedal support, above brake pedal .
