C1920

Easy (DIY)

Led #1 Circuit Failure

What Does C1920 Mean?

The chassis control module has detected a circuit failure in LED indicator #1. This LED provides visual feedback to the driver regarding a chassis system status (such as air suspension mode, stability control, or ride control). The LED cannot illuminate or is malfunctioning, preventing proper status indication to the driver.

Common Causes

40%

Burned-out or failed LED on the instrument panel or switch assembly

LED Indicator Assembly
Instrument Cluster LED

30%

Open circuit in the LED driver wire between the module and the indicator

LED Wiring Harness
Instrument Panel Connector

20%

Corroded or loose connector at the LED or module end

LED Connector
Module Connector Pins

10%

Module internal LED driver transistor failure

Chassis Control Module

Diagnostic Steps

1

Step 1: Verify the LED is visually not illuminating when it should be (compare to expected behavior during system self-test at key-on).

2

Step 2: Measure voltage at the LED connector while the module is commanding it on. Expected 5-12V depending on circuit design.

3

Step 3: Check LED continuity with a multimeter (typical forward resistance 1-3 ohms). Replace if open.

4

Step 4: Verify wiring continuity from the module LED driver output to the LED connector.

5

Step 5: If wiring and LED are good, the module's internal driver may be at fault. Check for updated module software or replacement.

Estimated Repair Cost

$30 - $200

What causes C1920?

The most common cause of C1920 (Led #1 Circuit Failure) is: Burned-out or failed LED on the instrument panel or switch assembly

How much does it cost to fix C1920?

Typical repair costs for C1920 range from $30 to $200, depending on the vehicle, location, and whether you do it yourself or go to a shop.

Is it safe to drive with C1920?

While the LED failure itself is not dangerous, the driver loses a visual indicator for a chassis system status. This could mean missing a warning about a more serious underlying condition.

How do I diagnose C1920?

Start by connecting an OBD2 scanner to read the code and any freeze frame data. Then follow the diagnostic steps specific to C1920 to identify the root cause.
