Pinpoint Test A: DTC B1483 - Brake Pedal Input Open Circuit

CAUTION: The Flex Probe Kit must be used for all test connections. Use of standard multi-meter probes may damage wiring terminals
  1. A1 CHECK THE STOPLAMP 
    • Apply the brake pedal while observing the stoplamp.
    • Do the stoplamp illuminate? 
    1. YES  : Go to  A2.
    2. NO  : REFER to EXTERIOR LIGHTING to continue diagnosis of the stoplamp.
  2. A2 CHECK CIRCUIT CES09 (VT/OG) FOR AN OPEN 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Disconnect: ABS Module C135
    • Measure the voltage between ABS module C135-6, circuit CES09 (VT/OG), harness side and ground with the brake pedal released.
    • Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? 
    1. YES  : Go to  A3.
    2. NO  : For early build Fusion/Milan, VERIFY fuse 44 (15A) is OK. For all MKZ and late build Fusion/Milan, VERIFY BJB fuse 49 (15A) is OK. If OK, REPAIR circuit CES09 (VT/OG). CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
  3. A3 CHECK FOR CORRECT ABS MODULE OPERATION 
    • Disconnect the ABS module connector.
    • Check for:
      • corrosion.
      • pushed-out pins.
      • spread terminals.
    • Connect the ABS module connector and make sure it seats correctly.
    • Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
    • Is the concern still present? 
    1. YES  : INSTALL a new ABS module. REFER to Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Module . CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
    2. NO  : The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
