What is CID 15:

CID 15 refers to a problem with the vehicle’s braking system, specifically related to brake fluid pressure. The ECM detects a fault with the pressure sensor circuit, which can lead to improper brake function and affect vehicle safety.

Why This Happens:

  • Faulty brake fluid pressure sensor.
  • Shorted or damaged wiring in the brake control circuit.
  • Low brake fluid levels.
  • Malfunctioning brake booster or valve.
  • ECM misinterpreting the pressure sensor’s data.

How to Fix It:

  1. Inspect the brake fluid pressure sensor and its wiring for damage.
  2. Test the sensor’s voltage and resistance to ensure it is functioning correctly.
  3. Ensure brake fluid is at the proper levels and check for leaks.
  4. Replace the faulty sensor or malfunctioning brake components.
  5. Perform a diagnostic check to ensure the brake system is operating correctly.

How to Avoid It Before It Happens:

  • Regularly inspect the brake system and fluid levels.
  • Keep connectors clean and free from corrosion.
  • Perform routine brake system diagnostics.
  • Replace brake fluid and components on schedule.
  • Clue’s safety management services help monitor braking systems and prevent issues before they affect vehicle performance.
