C1429

BRAKE CONTROL: VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM: C1429: Open or Short in Brake Pedal Load Sensing Switch
C1429 - Open or Short in Brake Pedal Load Sensing Switch

DESCRIPTION

The brake pedal load sensing switch is turned on when the brake pedal is depressed with force exceeding a predetermined level.

The skid control ECU detects if the brake pedal is depressed or not via this circuit.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
When replacing the brake actuator assembly, perform zero point calibration and store system information Programming and Relearning.

HINT
When DTC C1425 and/or C1426 is output together with DTC C1429, inspect and repair the trouble areas indicated by DTC C1425 and/or C1426 first C1425, or C1426).

PROCEDURE

1. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (BRAKE PEDAL LOAD SENSING SWITCH)

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the engine switch on (IG).

(c) Select the Data List on the Techstream Data List / Active Test.

ABS/VSC/TRAC





(d) Check that the brake pedal load sensing switch display observed on the Techstream changes according to brake pedal operation.

OK:

The Techstream displays ON or OFF according to brake pedal operation.

NG -- INSPECT BRAKE PEDAL LOAD SENSING SWITCH
OK -- Continue to next step.

2. RECONFIRM DTC

(a) Turn the engine switch off.

(b) Clear the DTCs Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

(c) Start the engine.

(d) Perform the road test.

(e) Check if the same DTC is recorded Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

Result:





B -- REPLACE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY Removal

A -- CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS Electronic Circuit Inspection Procedure

3. INSPECT BRAKE PEDAL LOAD SENSING SWITCH





NOTICE:
- 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.

(a) Turn the engine switch off.

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

(c) Disconnect the brake pedal load sensing switch connector.

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

Standard Resistance:





NG -- REPLACE BRAKE PEDAL SUPPORT ASSEMBLY (BRAKE PEDAL LOAD SENSING SWITCH) Removal
OK -- Continue to next step.

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

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





(b) Disconnect the skid control ECU connector.

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

Standard Resistance:





NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

OK -- REPLACE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY Removal
