Do you have the traction control turned OFF when using the line lock ??
Has the trans been out to intstall the LL ?
my guess is that you are getting some false info due to the LL --quite common too with higher stall over 3000
can be tuned out----any codes ???

Either an easy one or you upset the sensor take off

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:
Low Brake Fluid
Service Traction System
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.
