Q: What does code P1575 mean?

Extended Travel Brake Switch Circuit. P1575 on Chrysler vehicles indicates that the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected an implausible signal from the extended travel brake switch circuit, which is a second brake pedal switch used to verify brake pedal position beyond the normal range. The PCM expects the extended travel switch to change state only when the brake pedal is pressed deeply, and it sets this code when the circuit stays open or closed when the other brake switch indicates a different pedal position.
