DTC C1430: Brake Pedal Load Sensing Switch OFF Stuck Malfunction; DTC C1431: Brake Pedal Load Sensing Switch ON Stuck Malfunction: Procedure

  1. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (STOP LIGHT SWITCH AND BRAKE PEDAL LOAD SENSING SWITCH) 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    3. Select the Data List on the Techstream. Refer to DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST .
      ABS/VSC/TRAC

      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Stop Light SW Stop light switch / ON or OFF ON: Brake pedal depressed
      OFF: Brake pedal released
      -
      Brake Pedal Load Sensing SW Brake pedal load sensing switch / ON or OFF ON: Brake pedal depressed beyond the specified point
      OFF: Brake pedal not depressed beyond the specified point
      -
    4. Check that the stop light switch display and brake pedal load sensing switch display observed on the Techstream change according to brake pedal operation.

      OK

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

    5. Slowly depress the brake pedal, and check when the stop light switch and brake pedal load sensing switch turn ON.

      OK

      First the stop light switch should turn ON, and then the brake pedal load sensing switch should turn ON.

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      OK A
      NG (Turning on of the brake pedal load sensing switch is not confirmed) B
      NG (The brake pedal load sensing switch turns on first) C

    B → See step   3 

    C → See step   5 

    A: Go to next step 

  2. RECONFIRM DTC 
    1. Turn the engine switch off.
    2. Clear the DTCs. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR .
    3. Start the engine.
    4. Perform the road test.
    5. Check if the same DTC is recorded. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR .

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      DTCs (C1430 and C1431) are not output A
      DTCs (C1430 and/or C1431) are output B

    B → See step   8 

    A → See step   6 

  3. INSPECT BRAKE PEDAL LOAD SENSING SWITCH

    NOTE:
    • Do not remove the brake pedal load sensing switch from the brake pedal sub-assembly.
    • When there is a malfunction in the brake pedal load sensing switch, replace the brake pedal sub-assembly.
    1. Turn the engine 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.
    4. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
      2 (FSW+) - 1 (GND) Brake pedal load sensing switch OFF
      (Brake pedal depressed)
      950 to 1050 Ω
      2 (FSW+) - 1 (GND) Brake pedal load sensing switch ON
      (Brake pedal released)
      203 to 223 Ω

    NG → See step   7 

    OK: Go to next step 

  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
      A44-27 (FSW+) - A48-2 (FSW+) Always Below 1 Ω
      A44-27 (FSW+) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      A48-1 (GND) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω

      *2 Front view of wire harness connector
      (to Brake Pedal Load Sensing Switch)

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK → See step   8 

  5. CHECK BRAKE PEDAL AND STOP LIGHT SWITCH INSTALLATION 
    1. Turn the engine switch off.
    2. Check the brake pedal height and stop light switch installation. Refer to INSTALLATION .

      OK

      The brake pedal height and stop light switch installation are normal.

    NG → See step   9 

    OK → See step   7 

  6. CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS. Refer to  HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING 
  7. REPLACE BRAKE PEDAL SUB-ASSEMBLY (BRAKE PEDAL LOAD SENSING SWITCH). Refer to  DISASSEMBLY 
  8. REPLACE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL 
  9. ADJUST BRAKE PEDAL OR STOP LIGHT SWITCH. Refer to  ADJUSTMENT
