DESCRIPTION
The skid control ECU judges brake failure conditions have occurred based on the signal from the brake pedal load sensing switch and master cylinder pressure sensor.
Note
Do not intentionally stop the engine when driving. Even when no malfunction has occurred in the brake system, DTC C1441 will be stored when it is judged that a failure has occurred in the brake system due to a reduction in vacuum.
DTCs may be stored if one of the following occurs:
The brake pedal load sensing switch is malfunctioning (deviation in characteristics).
The brake pedal is depressed when moving the vehicle with the engine not running and the ignition switch ON.
Bleeding is performed with the engine running or the ignition switch ON.
Accelerator and brake pedals depressed simultaneously.*
Tech Tips
*: The skid control ECU may store this DTC upon judging that a stuck on malfunction has occurred when the accelerator pedal and brake pedal are depressed simultaneously. However, this does not indicate a malfunction.
DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
---|---|---|
C1441 | When the brake pedal load sensing switch and master cylinder pressure sensor are functioning normally and the brake pedal load sensing switch is judged as being on, the pressure signal from the master cylinder pressure sensor does not indicate an increase. |

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Note
When replacing the brake actuator assembly, perform calibration Click here.
PROCEDURE
CHECK ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND BRAKE PEDAL OPERATION
Interview the customer to check if the pedals were depressed simultaneously while driving or braking.
OK |
---|
The pedals were not depressed simultaneously. |
Tech Tips
The skid control ECU may store this DTC upon judging that a stuck on malfunction has occurred when the accelerator pedal and brake pedal are depressed simultaneously.
If the pedals were depressed simultaneously, clear the DTC because it is not a malfunction.

CHECK DTC AND FREEZE FRAME DATA
Check and record DTCs and Freeze Frame Data Click here and Click here.
Tech Tips
Read Freeze Frame Data at the time DTC C1441 was stored, go to operation history and confirm the operating conditions.
When reading Freeze Frame Data to confirm operating conditions, the following items can be confirmed: "F# or R# Wheel Speed", "Vehicle Speed", "Real Engine Torque" and "Accelerator Opening Angle %".

INSPECT RELATED COMPONENTS (FOR VACUUM LEAKS OR CLOGS)
CHECK BRAKE FLUID LEVEL
Check that the brake fluid level is sufficient.
Tech Tips
If the fluid level drops, check for a fluid leaks, and repair as necessary.
Check for brake fluid leakage. (brake master cylinder, brake line, flexible hose, brake actuator, wheel cylinders, etc.)

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Tech Tips
If brake fluid leaks are not found in components such as the brake master cylinder, brake line, flexible hose, brake actuator or wheel cylinders but the fluid level has become lower, the brake master cylinder may be leaking internally. Therefore, replace the brake master cylinder and check brake pedal operation again.

Note
Do not intentionally stop the engine when driving. DTC C1441 will be stored if the brake pedal is depressed when moving the vehicle with the engine not running and the ignition switch ON.

Tech Tips
If DTC C1441 and other DTCs are output simultaneously, the other DTCs may have caused the engine to malfunction, resulting in DTC C1441 to be output. Read Freeze Frame Data to confirm malfunctioning parts and repair the applicable part.
When reading Freeze Frame Data to confirm malfunctioning parts, the following items can be confirmed: "F# or R# Wheel Speed", "Vehicle Speed", "Real Engine Torque" and "Accelerator Opening Angle %".
