DTC 44: Cal FL Brake Fluid Pressure Sensor Circuit Open/Short

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Acura MDX, 2012 Acura MDX, 2011 Acura MDX, and 2010 Acura MDX. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Clear the DTCs with the HDS (see HOW TO CLEAR DTCS  ).
  2. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), then wait for 10 seconds.
  3. Watch the ACC indicator.

    Does the ACC indicator (amber) go off? 

    YES  -Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for loose or poor connections.

    NO  -Go to step 4.

  4. Check for DTCs with the HDS (see HOW TO CLEAR DTCS  ).

    Is DTC 44 indicated? 

    YES  -Go to step 5.

    NO  -Troubleshoot the indicated DTC(s). If there are no DTCs, the system is OK at this time.

  5. Without the brake pedal pressed, check the left front brake fluid pressure voltage (LF BRAKE P) with the HDS.

    Is there about 0.5 V? 

    YES  -Go to step 6.

    NO  -Go to step  9.

  6. Test the brake booster (see MASTER CYLINDER INSPECTION ).
  7. Start the engine, then press the brake pedal with about 314 N (32 kgf, 70.6 lbf) pressure.
  8. Check the left front brake fluid pressure voltage (LF BRAKE P) with the HDS.

    Is there about 2.5 V? 

    YES  -The left front brake fluid pressure signal is OK, check for loose or poor connections. If OK, update the ACC unit (see ACC UNIT UPDATE  ), then recheck. If the ACC unit was already updated, replace the ACC unit (see ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC) UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION  ).

    NO  -Go to step 9.

  9. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  10. Disconnect the ACC unit 20P connector.
  11. Measure the resistance between ACC unit 20P connector terminal No. 5 and body ground. There should be an open circuit or at least 1 MΩ.

    NO  -Repair an open in the wire between the ACC unit and the left front brake fluid pressure sensor.

  15. Remove the jumper wire from the left front brake fluid pressure sensor.
  16. Reconnect all connectors.
  17. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
  18. Measure the voltage between ACC unit 20P connector terminals No. 3 and No. 5. There should be about 5 V.

    Is the voltage as specified? 

    YES  -Go to step 19.

    NO  -Check for loose or poor connections. If OK, update the ACC unit (see ACC UNIT UPDATE  ), then recheck. If the ACC unit was already updated, replace the ACC unit (see ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC) UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION  ).

  19. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  20. Disconnect the ACC unit 20P connector.
  21. Measure the resistance between ACC unit 20P connector terminal No. 14 and body ground. There should be an open circuit or at least 1 MΩ.
