Causes
- Open or short in sensor signal wiring or connector
- Corroded or loose connector pins at sensor or control module
- Failed pressure sensor or sensor module electronics
- Loss of reference voltage or ground to the sensor
- Faulty ABS/hydraulic control module or internal software error
- Contaminated or mechanically damaged pressure sensor
Symptoms
- ABS warning lamp illuminated (may also trigger ESP/traction light)
- Reduced or altered ABS/ESP/brake assist behavior; possible limp or degraded mode
- Inconsistent or implausible hydraulic pressure readings in live data
- Brake pedal feel may be changed if hydraulic control is affected
- Stored DTC and possible diagnostic trouble codes for related systems
- Intermittent faults that may clear and return under certain conditions
What to check
- Read and record all related codes and freeze-frame data with a capable scan tool
- Check live data for pressure sensor A values and compare to expected behavior
- Visually inspect sensor, connector, harness, and mounting for damage or contamination
- Check fuses and power supplies for ABS/hydraulic control module
- Measure reference voltage and ground at sensor connector with key on
- Perform continuity and short-to-ground/power checks on the sensor signal wire to the module
Signal parameters
- Typical sensor interface: 3-wire (5 V reference, signal, ground) or module CAN output (check OEM docs)
- Signal voltage (analog) commonly in the range ~0.5–4.5 V (0 psi to max pressure) — verify with manufacturer specs
- Resistance values vary by sensor design; measure and compare to service manual specification
- CAN/diagnostic messages: pressure data should update at expected rate (e.g., multiple Hz); look for frozen or missing frames
- Watch for intermittent voltage drops on 5 V reference or spikes on signal line
Diagnostic algorithm
- Connect a full-function scan tool, read/record all ABS/ESP and body control codes and freeze frame data.
- Clear the C0750 and attempt to reproduce the fault while monitoring live pressure sensor A data and related parameters.
- Visually inspect the sensor, connector and harness for corrosion, bent pins, fluid ingress, or mechanical damage; repair if found.
- With connector connected, backprobe the sensor pins and measure reference voltage (should be present with ignition ON), ground continuity, and signal voltage while operating system or simulating pressure change. Compare to manufacturer ranges.
- If reference or ground is missing, trace and repair wiring to the ABS/hydraulic control module and check related fuses/relays.
- Perform continuity and insulation tests on the signal wire to detect shorts to power/ground and open circuits. Wiggle harness to find intermittent faults.
- If wiring and power/ground are good but signal is implausible or out of range, replace the pressure sensor module A and retest.
- If replacement sensor does not clear the code, investigate ABS/hydraulic control module inputs and outputs, check for CAN communication issues, and consider module reflash or replacement per manufacturer guidance.
- After repair, clear codes, perform required calibrations/bleeds (if applicable), and verify proper operation on road or hydraulic test rig.
- Document findings and recommend OEM parts and procedures; consult technical bulletins for model-specific steps.
Likely causes
- Damaged wiring harness to Pressure Sensor Module A (abrasion, chafe, rodent)
- Connector with corrosion or poor contact at sensor or ABS pump unit
- Sensor element failure (electrical or mechanical)
- Missing 5 V reference or ground at the sensor connector
- Intermittent connection due to movement or moisture ingress
- Module internal failure or firmware fault requiring replacement or reflash
Fault status
Status
C0750 - Pressure Sensor Module A Malfunction: Pressure sensor module A reporting invalid, missing or out-of-range signal; service required.
Repair difficulty: Medium
Diagnostic time: 1.0-2.5 hours
