  2. Make sure that the brake pedal is not pressed (home position)
  3. Perform the procedure for correcting the zero point of the pedal travel sensor through the scanner (Zero Point Calibration)
  4. Check the sensor data in real time: with the pedal not pressed, the value should be close to zero
  5. If correction is not possible, check and, if necessary, replace the sensor
