C1460 — Vehicle Accelerometer Power Circuit Failure

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

About C1460

C1460 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 C1460 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.

C1460 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 C1460 fault code indicates the stability control or suspension module has detected a fault on the power supply circuit feeding the vehicle accelerometers. Most accelerometers (lateral, longitudinal, and vertical) on modern stability control and adaptive damping systems share a common 5V reference voltage supplied by the module. This code is set when the module detects the accelerometer supply rail is out of range, missing, or short circuited. When this code is active, all accelerometers fed by the affected supply will fail to report valid signals, stability control and adaptive damping are...
