What C1440 means
Brake pressure transducer malfunction (a rebuilder, 2006-2012 E-Series)
On: 2000-2014 Ford E-150 / E-250 / E-350 / E-450 (Econoline)

On: 2007-2014 Ford F-150 (2007-2008)
Is it the ABS module?
Check the cheap things first: battery voltage and the main fuses for the ABS pump and module, the ground straps, the module connector (corrosion, a pushed-back pin) and, for wheel-speed codes, the sensor and its wiring at each wheel. If those are good and the code returns as soon as it is cleared — or the scan tool cannot talk to the ABS module at all — the module itself is the likely cause, and that is what we repair.
