C0091

Hydraulic Brake Pressure Sensor Circuit Range/Performance

Moderate severity

What it means

The brake pressure sensor signal is outside the plausibility band relative to pedal application. Wiring faults of this kind typically come from chafing, water ingress at connector seals, or pin push-back — a wiggle test on the harness while the code is active often confirms the location.

Is it safe to drive?

Use caution

The vehicle is usually drivable for short distances, but the problem can worsen or affect emissions. Diagnose and repair as soon as practical.

Most likely causes

  • Sensor drift with age

    high

    One of the most commonly reported causes for this code — check this first.

  • Internal hydraulic block leak

    low

    Less common, but worth ruling out after the more likely causes.

  • Sensor element aged beyond calibration window

    low

    Less common, but worth ruling out after the more likely causes.
