ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED BRAKE SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:C1246/46,C1281/81 and 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 wheel cylinder pressure sensor are built into the brake actuator. They measure their respective pressures and send signals to the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly).

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.

DTC No.

  • INF Code: 202

    • Regulator pressure sensor output voltage (Preg) is less than 8%, or 90.3% or more (less than 0.4 V, or 4.52 V or more) of sensor supply voltage (VCM1) for 0.05 seconds or more.

      1. The regulator pressure sensor output voltage does not correspond with brake pedal stroke sensor assembly and the readings remain out of specification for 0.5 to 5 seconds or more continuously.

        (The brake pedal stroke sensor assembly may be malfunctioning.)

      2. The regulator pressure sensor output voltage does not correspond with wheel cylinder pressure sensor and the outputs remain out of specification for 0.5 to 5 seconds or more continuously.

        (May be output with INF code 424.)

  • INF Code: 207

    • Fluctuation of regulator pressure sensor output is out of specification (the difference between the present value and last value is 15 MPa (153.0 kgf/cm2, 2176 psi) or more) for 0.1 seconds or more.
