Pinpoint Test J: DTCs C1288, C1440 and C1446
Refer to Wiring Diagram Set 42, Vehicle Dynamic Systems for schematic and connector information. Diagrams By Number
Normal Operation
The brake pressure transducer is integral to the Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU). The transducer sends a signal to the ABS module that varies in relation to the amount of pressure applied to the brake pedal. The more pressure that is applied, the greater the signal sent to the ABS module. If a new transducer needs to be installed, then a new HCU must be installed.
- DTC C1288 Pressure Transducer Main/Primary Input Circuit Failure - If the transducer is open, shorted to ground or shorted to voltage, DTC C1288 will be set.
- DTC C1440 Pressure Transducer Main/Primary Signal Faulted - The signal that the brake pressure transducer sends to the ABS module is checked against other inputs to the module and if it does not agree with those inputs, DTC C1440 is set.
- DTC C1446 BOO (Brake ON/OFF) Plausibility Fault(s) - During normal operation, the ABS module compares the brake ON/OFF High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) message to the HCU internal pressure transducer. If the brake ON/OFF message does not match the HCU transducer, DTC C1446 will be set.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- HCU
- ABS module
PINPOINT TEST J: DTCs C1288, C1440 AND C1446
-------------------------------------------------
J1 MONITOR THE ABS MODULE BRAKE ON/OFF (BOO_ABS) PID
- Connect the scan tool.
- Ignition ON.
- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: DataLogger - ABS Module.
- Press and release the brake pedal while monitoring the BOO_ABS PID.
- Does the PID switch to ON with the brake pedal pressed and then to OFF with the brake pedal released?
Yes
GO to J3.
No
GO to J2.
-------------------------------------------------
J2 MONITOR THE PCM BRAKE ON/OFF (BOO) PID
- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: DataLogger - PCM.
- Press and release the brake pedal while monitoring the BOO PID.
- Does the PID switch to ON with the brake pedal pressed and then to OFF with the brake pedal released?
Yes
REFER to Information Bus to continue diagnosis of the HS-CAN.
No
REFER to Brake Lamp to continue diagnosis of the stoplamp switch and stoplamps. Testing and Inspection
-------------------------------------------------
J3 MONITOR THE ABS MODULE BRAKE PRESSURE (BRAKPRESS) PID
- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: DataLogger - ABS Module .
- Firmly press and release the brake pedal while monitoring the BRAKPRES PID.
- Does the PID increase with firm pressure on the brake pedal and then decrease with the brake pedal released?
Yes
GO to J4.
No
INSTALL a new HCU. REFER to Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) Service and Repair. GO to J5.
-------------------------------------------------
J4 ISOLATE THE HCU
- Test drive the vehicle, firmly press and release the brake pedal while an assistant monitors the BRAKPRES PID.
- Does the PID increase with firm pressure on the brake pedal and then decrease with the brake pedal released?
Yes
The condition is not present at this time. CLEAR the DTCs. CYCLE the ignition key. REPEAT the self-test.
No
INSTALL a new HCU. REFER to Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) Service and Repair. GO to J5.
-------------------------------------------------
J5 ISOLATE THE ABS MODULE
- Firmly press and release the brake pedal while monitoring the BRAKPRES PID.
- Does the PID increase with firm pressure on the brake pedal and then decrease with the brake pedal released?
Yes
The system is operating correctly at this time.
No
INSTALL a new ABS module, REFER to Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Module Service and Repair. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test with the brake pedal not applied.
