DTC C1741: Pressure Sensor

DTC detecting condition: 

• A fault is detected if the fluid pressure signal in master cylinder are out of normal range.
• A fault is detected if the condition that supply voltage for the fluid pressure sensor is out of normal judgment range continues for predetermined time.
• A fault is detected if the communication status of fluid pressure sensor is abnormal.
• A fault is detected if the data of fluid pressure sensor is abnormal.
• A fault is detected if the offset value of fluid pressure sensor signal exceeds a predetermined judgment value.

Trouble symptom: 

• VDC does not operate sometimes.
• ABS does not operate sometimes.
• AVH does not function.
• EyeSight does not operate.

1. CHECK STOP LIGHT SWITCH CIRCUIT AND INSTALLATION CONDITION  .

   Check the stop light switch circuit and the installation condition.

   Is the check result OK?

   Yes:  Go to  2.

   No:  Repair the stop light switch circuit or correct the installation condition.

   NOTE: If there is malfunction in the stop light circuit, DTC may be recorded in the memory  .
2. CHECK OUTPUT OF PRESSURE SENSOR WITH SUBARU SELECT MONITOR  .
   1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
   2. Using Subaru Select Monitor, display [Pressure Sensor Output] of [Data Monitor], Ref. to BRAKE CONTROL (DIAGNOSTICS)>DATA MONITOR .

      Data Monitor 

   With the brake pedal released, is the value of [Pressure Sensor Output] -11 - 11 bar?

   Yes:  Go to  3.

   No:  Replace the VDCCM & H/U. Ref. to VEHICLE DYNAMICS CONTROL (VDC)>VDC CONTROL MODULE AND HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT (VDCCM & H/U) .

3. CHECK OUTPUT OF PRESSURE SENSOR WITH SUBARU SELECT MONITOR  .

   Using Subaru Select Monitor, display [Pressure Sensor Output] of [Data Monitor], Ref. to BRAKE CONTROL (DIAGNOSTICS)>DATA MONITOR .

   Data Monitor 

   When the brake pedal is operated, does the value of [Pressure Sensor Output] change in accordance with the brake pedal?

   Yes:  Go to  4.

   No:  Replace the VDCCM & H/U. Ref. to VEHICLE DYNAMICS CONTROL (VDC)>VDC CONTROL MODULE AND HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT (VDCCM & H/U) .

4. CHECK VDCCM & H/U  .
   1. Using the Subaru Select Monitor, perform the clear memory. Ref. to COMMON (DIAGNOSTICS)>CLEAR MEMORY .
   2. Execute the inspection mode. Ref. to BRAKE CONTROL (DIAGNOSTICS)>INSPECTION MODE .
   3. Read the DTC using Subaru Select Monitor. Ref. to BRAKE CONTROL (DIAGNOSTICS)>DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) .

   Is the same DTC displayed?

   Yes:  Replace the VDCCM & H/U. Ref. to VEHICLE DYNAMICS CONTROL (VDC)>VDC CONTROL MODULE AND HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT (VDCCM & H/U) .

   No:  Go to  5.

5. CHECK DETECTION OF OTHER DTCS FOR VDC  .

   Read the DTC using Subaru Select Monitor. Ref. to BRAKE CONTROL (DIAGNOSTICS)>DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) .

   Is any other DTC displayed?

   Yes:  Perform the diagnosis according to the DTC. Ref. to BRAKE CONTROL (DIAGNOSTICS)>DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC)>LIST .

   No:  Currently, it is normal. There may have been a temporary poor contact in the harness and connector or a temporary noise interference.
