P057E Brake Pedal Position Sensor A Circuit Intermittent or Erratic
Same as P057A with intermittent or erratic signal. Wiring faults of this kind typically come from chafing, water ingress at connector seals, or pin push-back — a wiggle test on the harness while the code is active often confirms the location.
