Brake On/Off Switch Out of Self - Test Range
Ford · engine
Data confidence80%
The control module detected a fault associated with the Brake On/Off Switch Out of Self - Test Range circuit or function; the stored code identifies the affected component rather than a single failure mode. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Ford.

P1703:00
Brake switch out of self-test range
Ford · engine
Data confidence94%
Ford documents P1703:00 (no sub type information) for its 2024-2025 gasoline-engine OBD monitor strategy as brake switch out of self-test range. This three-byte interpretation is application-specific and identifies the detected monitor condition rather than a confirmed failed component.
