Dual learn windows for brake pedal released position

1. A system comprising:

a pedal position sensor that senses a pedal position of a vehicle pedal when the vehicle pedal is in a known position;

an engine control module that selects between a first pedal position range and a second pedal position range based on a location of the engine control module and that determines a fault in the vehicle pedal based on the pedal position and the selected one of the first pedal position range and the second pedal position range.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein the engine control module determines a fault in the vehicle pedal when the pedal position is not within the selected one of the first pedal position range and the second pedal position range.

3. The system of claim 1 wherein the engine control module determines no fault in the vehicle pedal when the pedal position is within the selected one of the first pedal position range and the second pedal position range.

4. The system of claim 1 wherein the first pedal position range includes a first upper threshold and a first lower threshold and the second pedal position range includes a second upper threshold and a second lower threshold.

5. The system of claim 4 wherein the first upper threshold is less than the second upper threshold and the first lower threshold is greater than the second lower threshold.

6. The system of claim 1 wherein the engine control module stores the pedal position in a pedal position lookup table.

7. The system of claim 6 wherein the engine control module receives a plurality of sensed pedal positions and that selectively controls a plurality of vehicle accessories based on at least one of the plurality of sensed pedal positions.

8. The system of claim 7 wherein the plurality of vehicle accessories includes a vehicle brake light.

9. The system of claim 8 wherein the engine control module deactivates the vehicle brake light when the at least one of the plurality of sensed pedal positions equals the pedal position.

10. A method comprising:

using an electronic circuit:

sensing a pedal position of a vehicle pedal when the vehicle pedal is in a known position;

selecting between a first pedal position range and a second pedal position range based on a location of the vehicle pedal; and

determining a fault in the vehicle pedal based on the pedal position and the selected one of the first pedal position range and the second pedal position range.

11. The method of claim 10 further comprising determining a fault in the vehicle pedal when the pedal position is not within the selected one of the first pedal position range and the second pedal position range.

12. The method of claim 10 further comprising determining no fault in the vehicle pedal when the pedal position is within the selected one of the first pedal position range and the second pedal position range.

13. The method of claim 10 further comprising the first pedal position range includes a first upper threshold and a first lower threshold and the second pedal position range includes a second upper threshold and a second lower threshold.

14. The method of claim 13 wherein the first upper threshold is less than the second upper threshold and the first lower threshold is greater than the second lower threshold.

15. The method of claim 10 further comprising storing the pedal position in a pedal position lookup table.

16. The method of claim 15 further comprising receiving a plurality of sensed pedal positions and selectively controlling a plurality of vehicle accessories based on at least one of the plurality of sensed pedal positions.

17. The method of claim 16 wherein the plurality of vehicle accessories includes a vehicle brake light.

18. The method of claim 17 further comprising deactivating the vehicle brake light when the at least one of the plurality of sensed pedal positions equals the pedal position.
