VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:C1430, C1431

DTC Code DTC Name
C1430 Brake Pedal Load Sensing Switch OFF Stuck Malfunction
C1431 Brake Pedal Load Sensing Switch ON Stuck Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

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

The skid control ECU uses this circuit to detect if the brake pedal is depressed or not.

DTC No. Detection Item DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
C1430 Brake Pedal Load Sensing Switch OFF Stuck Malfunction

Either of the following is detected:


  1. With the stop light switch on, the brake pedal load sensing switch off, and the master cylinder pressure more than 6 MPa (61.2 kgf/cm2, 870 psi), the vehicle acceleration rate is less than -4 m/s2for 1 second or more.

  2. With the stop light switch on, the brake pedal load sensing switch off, and the master cylinder pressure more than 6 MPa (61.2 kgf/cm2, 870 psi), the vehicle speed is 0 km/h (0 mph) for 5 seconds or more.


  • Brake pedal load sensing switch (Brake pedal support assembly)

  • Brake pedal load sensing switch circuit

C1431 Brake Pedal Load Sensing Switch ON Stuck Malfunction

Either of the following is detected:


  1. With the stop light switch off, the brake pedal load sensing switch on, and the master cylinder pressure less than 0.7 MPa (7.13 kgf/cm2, 101 psi), the vehicle acceleration rate is more than -0.8 m/s2for 10 seconds or more. (Only when the engine is running and booster malfunctions are not detected.)

  2. Condition which the brake pedal load sensing switch remains on while the vehicle speed increases from 0 km/h (0 mph) to 30 km/h (19 mph) occurs 5 times in succession.

Tech Tips

When C1249, C1425 and/or C1426 is output together with C1430 and/or C1431, inspect and repair the trouble areas indicated by C1249, C1425 and/or C1426 first (Click here), Click here), and/or Click here.

PROCEDURE


  1. READ VALUE USING GTS (STOP LIGHT SWITCH ASSEMBLY AND BRAKE PEDAL LOAD SENSING SWITCH)


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

    3. Select the Data List using the GTS.

      Tester Display Measurement Item Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Stop Light SW Stop light switch ON or OFF

      ON: Brake pedal depressed

      OFF: Brake pedal released

      Brake Pedal Load Sensing SW Brake pedal load sensing switch ON or OFF

      ON: Brake pedal depressed beyond as pecified point

      OFF: Brake pedal not depressed beyond as pecified point

      -
    4. Check that the stop light switch display and brake pedal load sensing switch display observed on the GTS change according to brake pedal operation.

      OK
      The GTS displays ON or OFF according to brake pedal operation.
    5. Slowly depress the brake pedal, and check when the stop light switch and brake pedal load sensing switch turn on.

      OK
      First the stop light switch turns on, and then the brake pedal load sensing switch turns on.

  3. INSPECT BRAKE PEDAL LOAD SENSING SWITCH


    1. Turn the ignition switch off.

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

    3. Disconnect the A63 brake pedal load sensing switch connector.

      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.
