WTF 1214 Code HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLP!!
I just purchased a JWM Front splitter from a member off here last week. Fast forward to today, I'm driving down the road on my way to work and there is a big chunk of 18 wheeler shredded tire in the middle of the road on the F'N Freeway. The car in front of me swerved and by the time I could react, BAM!!! This F'N tire cracked my front splitter right down the middle, then it went under the splitter and was jammed up in my pullies. It wiped out my AC belt and the belt became jammed behind the crank pulley. No I'm throwing a 1214 code that won't go away. WTF!. I'm at work now, but I had some shears in my trunk and I had to cut the A/C belt off.
I have a ASP 25% U/D Pulley, what size A/C belt do I need? I was running a gatorback belt, but I don't remember the size because it's been on the car for 4yrs.
How do I make this 1214 code go away?

common problem; search C5 tech for 1214... You could read for days. Long story short, probably EBCM repair time. There's a DIY for that on here somewhere, otherwise check out absfixer.comFor the belt size: 4040410 http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-t...ud-pulley.html see post 5

Just ordered the ac belt from Summit. Engine seems to be a little snappier without the A/C belt. I rarely run my A/C, so I may just keep the belt in the garage.
Anyone noted an hp gains by removing the A/C belt?

The harness is fastened to the fan shroud and runs right through the area where you said stuff got damaged. If the connector came unplugged from the EBCM I think you would see a No Comm on the DIC but inside the harness if the power lead for the BPMV (which goes through the relay in the EBCM) is damaged the system could still talk to the EBCM which has its own power and ground and might get a C1214 code.
You should check both ABS fuses but 52 is probably the one that feeds the BPMV and the EBCM relay since it is such a high amperage. Check Circuit 1642 which is a red lead going from fuse 52 to the EBCM.
Since I am not sure where things flew you should also check the condition of the wires that go from the EBCM into the BPMV motor. One is a voltage supply from the system relay and the other is the ground circuit (Circuit 1250). That way you will have checked the circuit path all the way from the fuse through the motor to the ground point at G103.
