ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED BRAKE SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:C1246/46, C1281/81, C1364/61

DTC Code DTC Name
C1246/46 Master Cylinder Pressure Sensor Malfunction
C1281/81 Master Cylinder Pressure Sensor Output Malfunction (Test Mode DTC)
C1364/61 Wheel Cylinder Pressure Sensor Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

The regulator pressure sensor and the wheel cylinder pressure sensor are built into the brake actuator, and measure the regulator pressure and the wheel cylinder pressure sent to the skid control ECU.

DTC C1281/81 will be cleared when the regulator pressure sensor sends a regulator pressure signal or when Test Mode ends. DTC C1281/81 is output only in Test Mode.
