C1044 — Master Cylinder Cut Solenoid Valve Circuit No. 2 Failure

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

About C1044

C1044 is a manufacturer-specific chassis diagnostic trouble code recorded for Suzuki vehicles. It belongs to the C-prefix family of codes, which covers chassis, braking, steering, suspension, or stability-control faults.

When C1044 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.

C1044 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 master cylinder cut solenoid valves sit inside the Suzuki ABS and ESP hydraulic modulator and isolate the master cylinder from the wheel circuits so the pump can build pressure independently of the driver during stability control and traction control intervention. C1044 refers to the second of these cut valves, and the ESP control module sets it when the electrical feedback from that solenoid does not match what the module commanded, which covers an open coil, a shorted coil or a supply or drive circuit fault. Because the module cannot generate autonomous brake pressure without that valve,...
