C1413 — Traction Control Valve LF Circuit Short To Battery

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

About C1413

C1413 is a manufacturer-specific chassis diagnostic trouble code. It belongs to the C-prefix family of codes, which covers chassis, braking, steering, suspension, or stability-control faults.

When C1413 is stored, the module has detected a short-circuit (voltage pulled to ground or to supply) in the monitored circuit.

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.

C1413 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

The C1413 fault code indicates the ABS or traction control module has detected a short to battery voltage on the left front (LF) traction control valve circuit. The traction control valves are solenoid actuated valves inside the ABS hydraulic control unit used during traction control and stability control interventions. This code is specifically set when the module detects battery voltage present on the valve control circuit when it should be commanded off, indicating the valve control wire is shorted directly to a battery feed somewhere in the circuit. When this code is active, ABS, traction ...
