DTC C1189

Brake fluid level sensor input circuit open

DETECTION CONDITION
Open circuit in wiring harness between PJB and brake fluid level sensor
POSSIBLE CAUSE
•  Open circuit in wiring harness between PJB terminal J-01 AL and brake fluid level sensor terminal B
•  Open circuit in wiring harness between brake fluid level sensor terminal A and body GND
•  Brake fluid level sensor malfunction
•  PJB malfunction

Diagnostic procedure

STEP

INSPECTION

ACTION

1
INSPECT BRAKE FLUID LEVEL SENSOR CONNECTOR
•  Turn the ignition switch off.
•  Disconnect the brake fluid level sensor connector.
•  Inspect the brake fluid level sensor connector terminals for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, and corrosion).
•  Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Repair or replace the terminal, then go to Step 5.
No
Go to the next step.
2
INSPECT PJB CONNECTOR
•  Disconnect the PJB connector.
•  Inspect the PJB connector terminals for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, and corrosion).
•  Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Repair or replace the terminal, then go to Step 5.
No
Go to the next step.
3
INSPECT BRAKE FLUID LEVEL SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
•  Inspect for continuity between following terminals:
―  PJB terminal J-01 AL (wiring harness-side) — brake fluid level sensor terminal B (wiring harness-side)
―  Brake fluid level sensor terminal A (wiring harness-side) — body GND
•  Is there continuity?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible open circuit, then go to Step 5.
4
INSPECT BRAKE FLUID LEVEL SENSOR
•  Inspect the brake fluid level sensor.
•  Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Replace the brake fluid level sensor, then go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
5
VERIFY TROUBLESHOOTING COMPLETED
•  Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors.
•  Clear the DTC from the PJB memory using the M-MDS.
•  Perform the self-test.
•  Is the same DTC present?
Yes
Replace the PJB.
No
Troubleshooting completed.
