DTC C1256: Accumulator Low Pressure [04/2018 -]: Description

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The accumulator pressure sensor is built into the brake actuator (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) and detects the accumulator pressure.

The skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) turns on the brake warning light / red (malfunction) and brake warning light / yellow (minor malfunction), and sounds the meter buzzer if it senses a decrease in the accumulator pressure.

DTC C1256 may be stored if the accumulator pressure drops due to frequent braking (this is not a malfunction).
