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. Detection Item DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
C1429 Open or Short in Brake Pedal Load Sensing Switch 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)

PROCEDURE


  1. READ VALUE USING GTS (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
      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 GTS changes according to brake pedal operation.

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

  3. INSPECT BRAKE PEDAL LOAD SENSING SWITCH


    1. A001WSEC12
      *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 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.

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

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection 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 (BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY - 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 A42 skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) connector.

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

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A42-17 (FSW+) - A63-2 (FSW+) Always Below 1 Ω
      A42-17 (FSW+) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
