DTC C0040-13: Brake Pedal Switch "A" Circuit Open [11/2022 - 11/2023]: Procedure

1. Check the Data List using the GTS.

   Chassis > Brake/EPB > Data List 

   Tester Display	Measurement Item	Range	Normal Condition	Diagnostic Note
   Brake Pedal Load Sensing SW	Brake pedal load sensing switch (brake pedal support assembly)	OFF / ON	OFF: Brake pedal load sensing switch (brake pedal support assembly) OFF ON: Brake pedal load sensing switch (brake pedal support assembly) ON	-

2. Check that the brake pedal load sensing switch display observed on the GTS changes according to brake pedal operation.

   OK

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

   *a	Component without harness connected (Brake Pedal Load Sensing Switch (Brake Pedal Support Assembly))

2. Make sure that there is no looseness at the locking part and the connecting part of the connector.
3. Disconnect the A167 brake pedal load sensing switch (brake pedal support assembly) connector.
   NOTE:

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

   Standard Resistance

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