Pinpoint Test P: DTC C1440 - Pressure Transducer Input Circuit Failure

NOTE: Excessive clearance between brake pad and rotor, leaks, or air in the hydraulic brake system can also set DTC C1440.

P1 CHECK FOR DTCs
- Key in ON position.
- Connect the diagnostic tool.
- Retrieve the DTCs.
- Is DTC C1483, C1287, B2734, B2736, B2737, B2738 or B2740 present?
Yes : SERVICE these DTCs first. GO to the appropriate pinpoint test for each DTC received.

No : GO to P2 .
P2 CHECK FOR 5 VOLT REFERENCE VOLTAGE TO THE PRESSURE TRANSDUCER
- Key in OFF position.
- Disconnect: Pressure Transducer C147.
- Key in ON position.
- Measure the voltage between pressure transducer C147-1, circuit 9-CF64 (BN/YE), harness side and pressure transducer C147-3, circuit 7-CF64 (YE/BK), harness side.

- Is the voltage approximately 5 volts?
Yes : GO to P6.

No : GO to P3 .
P3 CHECK CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
- Key in OFF position.
- Disconnect: ABS Module C155.
- Key in ON position.
- Measure the voltage between pressure transducer C147-3, circuit 7-CF64 (YE/BK), harness side and ground; and between pressure transducer C147-1, circuit 9-CF64 (BN/YE), harness side and ground; and between pressure transducer C147-2, circuit 8-CF64 (WH/BK), harness side and ground.

- Is any voltage present?
Yes : REPAIR the circuit in question. CLEAR the DTC. REPEAT the self-test.

No : GO to P4 .
P4 CHECK CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Key in OFF position.
- Measure the resistance between pressure transducer C147-3, circuit 7- CF64 (YE/BK), harness side and ground; between pressure transducer C147-1, circuit 9-CF64 (BN/YE), harness side and ground; and between pressure transducer C147-2, circuit 8-CF64 (WH/BK), harness side and ground.

- Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms?
Yes : GO to P5 .

No : REPAIR the circuit in question. CLEAR the DTC. REPEAT the self-test.

P5 CHECK CIRCUIT RESISTANCE

Measure the resistance between ABS module C155 and pressure transducer C147 pins.

CONNECTOR-PIN CIRCUIT SPECIFICATION

ABS Module C155	Pressure Transducer C147	Circuit
Pin 18	Pin 3	7-CF64 (YE/BK)
Pin 20	Pin 2	8-CF64 (WH/BK)
Pin 19	Pin 1	9-CF64 (BN/YE)

Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?

Yes : GO to P6 .

No : REPAIR the circuit in question. CLEAR the DTC. REPEAT the self-test.

P6 CHECK THE SIGNAL FROM THE PRESSURE TRANSDUCER
- Connect: Pressure Transducer C147.
- Disconnect: ABS Module C155-20, circuit 8-CF64 (WH/BK).
- Connect: ABS Module C155.
- Key in ON position.
- Measure the voltage between ABS C155-20, circuit 8-CF64 (WH/BK), harness side and ground while applying and releasing the brake pedal.
