DTC C1246: Master Cylinder Pressure Sensor; DTC C1281: Abnormal Output in Master Cylinder Pressure Sensor; DTC C1364: Wheel Cylinder Pressure Sensor [02/2019 - 12/2021]: Description

The regulator pressure sensor and wheel cylinder pressure sensor are built into the brake actuator. They measure their respective pressures and send signals to the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly).

DTC C1281 will be cleared when the regulator pressure sensor sends a regulator pressure signal or when Test Mode ends. DTC C1281 is output only in Test Mode.
