VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:C1429

DTC Code DTC Name
C1429 Open or Short in Brake Pedal Load Sensing Switch

DESCRIPTION

The brake pedal load sensing switch sends a signal when the brake pedal is depressed with force exceeding a predetermined level.

The skid control ECU detects if the brake pedal is depressed or not via this circuit.

DTC Code DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
C1429 An open or short in the brake pedal load sensing switch continues for 0.3 seconds or more.

  • Brake pedal load sensing switch

  • Brake pedal load sensing switch circuit

  • Brake actuator assembly (Skid control ECU)

When DTC C1425 and/or C1426 is output together with DTC C1429, inspect and repair the trouble areas indicated by DTC C1425 and/or C1426 first Click here, or Click here.

PROCEDURE


  1. READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (BRAKE PEDAL LOAD SENSING SWITCH)


    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

    3. Select the Data List on the intelligent tester Click here.

      ABS/VSC/TRC
      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Brake Pedal Load Sensing SW Brake pedal load sensing switch / ON or OFF

      ON: Brake pedal depressed beyond the specified point

      OFF: Brake pedal not depressed beyond the specified point

      		 -

    4. Check that the brake pedal load sensing switch display observed on the intelligent tester changes according to brake pedal operation.

      OK
      The intelligent tester displays ON or OFF according to brake pedal operation.

  3. INSPECT BRAKE PEDAL LOAD SENSING SWITCH

    A0161L7E04

    Note


    • Do not remove the brake pedal load sensing switch from the brake pedal support assembly.

    • When there is a malfunction in the brake pedal load sensing switch, replace the brake pedal support assembly.


    1. Turn the engine switch off.

    2. Make sure that there is no looseness at the locking part and the connecting part of the connector.

    3. Disconnect the brake pedal load sensing switch connector.

    4. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
      2 (FSW+) - 1 (GND)

      Brake pedal load sensing switch OFF

      (Brake pedal depressed)

      		 950 to 1050 Ω
      2 (FSW+) - 1 (GND)

      Brake pedal load sensing switch ON

      (Brake pedal released)

      		 203 to 223 Ω

    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A62-27 (FSW+) - A23-2 (FSW+) Always Below 1 Ω
      A62-27 (FSW+) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      A23-1 (GND) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω
