What does C1405 mean?

C1405 is a manufacturer-specific chassis diagnostic trouble code. It is defined as "Traction Control Valve Rear Circuit Open". It falls under the chassis systems area of the vehicle’s chassis system, and its exact meaning can vary between manufacturers.

When is C1405 set?

The onboard diagnostic system sets C1405 when it detects a condition matching "traction control valve rear circuit open" in the chassis systems circuit or system. When the fault is confirmed, the module stores the code and, in most cases, turns on a warning light.

This code is generally moderate. The vehicle is often still drivable, but the underlying fault should be diagnosed before it leads to further problems.
