2 vehicles · 2 makes · $50-$3,500 repair
Most Reported On
C1436 is an OBD-II diagnostic trouble code meaning “Manufacturer-Specific Chassis/ABS Code (definition varies by maker).” C1436 is a manufacturer-specific chassis code, so its exact meaning depends on the vehicle maker. It is generally set by the ABS/electronic brake control module and typically points to a fault within the anti-lock brake, traction control, or stability system circuit, often a sensor or actuator signal that is out of its expected range. Because it is brake-related, the ABS and stability features may be disabled until repaired, even though normal hydraulic braking usually still works. The exact component should be confirmed against the specific make's service information. This code is most commonly reported on 2010-2023 Lexus GX (GX460), and 1998-2021 Toyota Land Cruiser, with repair costs ranging from $50 to $3,500.
