Default C1296 code?

Anyone ever experienced this code, #1296? Any info on how to check it out and resolve this condition. It concerns the brake pressure modulator valve pressure sensor. When it occurs I get the message "Service Active Handling." Nothing seems to be wrong when it comes on which seems to be randomly. I'm able to delete the code with no effort, but it will eventually come back on. I recently had some work done on the left front corner of my car after contact with an immovable item in the road which caused some repairs to be necessary which is approximately where the sensor is located. Any ideas?

I see you have a 2003 Z06 - here is a list of codes for your year:

DTC C1292, C1293, or C1296
Master Cylinder Pressure Sensor Circuit


Here is some very helpful info already on the Forum:
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-t...cm-sensor.html

When you had the repair done -
(1) Did they bleed the brakes
(2) Did they remove any of the brake system's brake lines for that side
(3) Is it possible the ABS needs to be bled thoroughly
(4) How long has it been since your whole brake system has been bled

There might be 'AIR' in the line causing the switch to send the signal!

This is only a starting point for us, more will chime in!

Thanks,Matt

Same thing has just happened to me.

It happened a couple of times, and just restarting the car cured the problem. Now it's become a hard code.......

OP did you get the problem sorted?
