This code means there's a problem with one of the car's sensors that helps with the brakes. It's like when a toy's remote control isn't working right because a button is stuck.
C0063 is a chassis code related to a malfunction in a vehicle's brake system sensor.
The C0063 code is triggered when there is an issue with the brake pedal position sensor. This sensor helps the car's computer understand how much pressure is being applied to the brakes, which is crucial for systems like ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) and traction control.
• Check for any visible damage to the brake pedal position sensor.
• Inspect wiring and connectors for signs of wear or damage.
• Use a diagnostic tool to read sensor data and confirm the fault.
• Replace the brake pedal position sensor if faulty.
• Repair or replace damaged wiring or connectors.
• Reprogram or replace the ABS module if necessary.
• OBD-II scanner
• Multimeter
• Socket set

Sensor Issue
• Avoid sudden braking until the issue is resolved.
• Have the vehicle inspected by a professional mechanic.
• Do not ignore warning lights on the dashboard.
Check with the vehicle manufacturer for coverage under the powertrain or bumper-to-bumper warranty.
The C0063 code has been associated with brake system issues in various models, often due to sensor wear or wiring problems.
Moderate – While the vehicle may still be operable, reduced braking performance can affect safety.
Driving with impaired braking systems can be dangerous and may violate road safety regulations.
• Vehicle at operating temperature
• Stationary with engine running
The brake pedal position sensor is typically located near the brake pedal assembly under the dashboard.
Q: Can I drive with the C0063 code?
