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 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. DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
C1429 An open or short in the brake pedal load sensing switch circuit continues for 0.5 seconds or more.

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

  • Brake pedal load sensing switch circuit

  • Skid control ECU (Brake actuator assembly)

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Tech Tips

When C1249, C1425 and/or C1426 is output together with C1429, 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 INTELLIGENT TESTER (BRAKE PEDAL LOAD SENSING SWITCH)


    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

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

      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 a specified point

      OFF: Brake pedal not depressed beyond a 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.

      *a

      Component without harness connected

      (Brake Pedal Load Sensing Switch (Brake Pedal Support Assembly))

      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 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.

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

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

      Switch OFF

      (Brake pedal depressed)

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

      Switch ON

      (Brake pedal released)

      		 203 to 223 Ω

  4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SKID CONTROL ECU - BRAKE PEDAL LOAD SENSING SWITCH)


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

    2. Disconnect the skid control ECU connector.

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

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A49-34 (FSW+) - A40-2 (FSW+) Always Below 1 Ω
      A49-34 (FSW+) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      A40-1 (FSW-) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω
