Default Strange TCS DIC Code

I had a history code of TCS - C1247 which doesn't seem to be in the online list of codes that I usually use.

Anybody know what a C1247 is?

Thanks in advance.

Low brake fluid level.


DTC C1247
Circuit Description

The brake fluid level switch monitors the level of brake fluid in the master cylinder. When the IPC sees the brake fluid level switch input grounded, it turns ON the red Brake indicator and sends a serial data message to the EBCM that tells the EBCM that the brake fluid level is low.
Conditions for Running the DTC

The ignition is ON.
Conditions for Setting the DTC

The EBCM receives a serial data message from the IPC indicating that the brake fluid level is low.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* The EBCM disables the TCS/VSES until the DTC becomes a history DTC.
* The red Brake warning indicator turns ON.
* The Traction Control and Active Handling indicator turns ON.
* The DIC displays the following messages:
o Low Brake Fluid
o Service Traction System
o Service Active Handling
* The ABS remains functional.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* The condition for the DTC is no longer present and the DTC is cleared with a scan tool.
* The EBCM automatically clears the history DTC when a current DTC is not detected in 100 consecutive drive cycles.

Diagnostic Aids

Inspect the master cylinder reservoir for the proper brake fluid level.

Thanks so much... nothing to worry about, it was a history code. I must have got the master cylinder a little low when I was bleeding the brakes last weekend.

This forum is great!
