Description
The master cylinder pressure sensor is connected to the skid control ecu in the abs and traction actuator.
Dtc c1281/81 can be detected when the master cylinder pressure sensor sends a master cylinder pressure signal or test mode ends. Dtc c1281/81 is output only in test mode.

Inspection procedure Notice:
