C1272 — Motor # 2 Input Circuit Failure

System: Chassis  |  Type: Manufacturer-Specific  |  Make: Ford

About C1272

C1272 is a manufacturer-specific chassis diagnostic trouble code recorded for Ford vehicles. It belongs to the C-prefix family of codes, which covers chassis, braking, steering, suspension, or stability-control faults.

When C1272 is stored, the module has detected an electrical-circuit fault in the wiring, connector, or driver associated with the named component.

Scanning & clearing: Chassis (C) codes are stored in the ABS, traction control, or stability-control modules. An enhanced or OEM-level scan tool is usually required to read and clear them.

C1272 is a manufacturer-specific code. The same code string on a different make may have a different meaning. Always confirm the code's definition against the vehicle's service information for the specific make and model under test.

Code Information

On systems equipped with dual hydraulic pump motors, the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) module monitors each pump independently through its own feedback input. DTC C1272 is set when the ABS module commands the number two pump motor on but the input circuit does not respond as expected, or when the input shows an active state while the motor is commanded off. This typically points to a broken feedback wire, a failed number two pump motor, or loss of the motor monitor signal between the relay and the module. With number two motor feedback compromised the ABS module disables stability and ABS funct...
