About C1414

C1414 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.

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.

C1414 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 C1414 fault code indicates the ABS or stability control module has detected that the installed module does not match the design level expected for the vehicle. Modern ABS modules contain a calibration identifier that the module compares against vehicle configuration data (typically held in the body control module or vehicle gateway) at key on. This code sets when the installed ABS module's hardware part number, software calibration ID, or variant coding does not match the vehicle's expected configuration. Common causes include installation of a used or incorrect part number ABS module, rec...
