C1120 00
This diagnostic detects if the left front circuit is blocked by actively applying pressure and monitoring the accumulator pressure change. The pressure change of the accumulator indicates the value of fluid used which is then compared to expected fluid used during a brake apply. Too little fluid usage indicates a blocked circuit.
C1121 00
This diagnostic detects if the left front circuit is leaking by actively applying pressure and monitoring the accumulator pressure change. The pressure change of the accumulator indicates the volume of fluid used which is then compared to expected fluid used during a brake apply. Too much fluid usage indicated a leaking circuit.
