I can't seem to find anything on this code.. :confused:
Anyone know what it is ?

 

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 (the DTC is not current) and you used the scan tool Clear DTC function.
The condition for the DTC is no longer present (the DTC is not current) and you used the On-Board Diagnostics Clear DTC function.
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.

Step Action Yes No
Schematic Reference: Brake Warning System Schematics
1 Did you perform the Hydraulic Brake Diagnostic System Check? Go to Step 2 Go to A Diagnostic System Check - Hydraulic Brakes
2 Inspect the brake fluid level. Is the brake fluid level OK? Go to Step 3 Go to Brake Fluid Loss
3 Install a scan tool.
Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
With a scan tool, observe the Brake Fluid Level parameter in the Instrument Panel Cluster data list.
Does the scan tool indicate that the Brake Fluid Level parameter is OK? Go to Testing for Intermittent and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems Go to Step 4
4 Turn OFF the ignition.
Disconnect the brake fluid level switch.
Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
With a scan tool, observe the Brake Fluid Level parameter.
Does the scan tool indicate that the Brake Fluid Level parameter is OK? Go to Step 6 Go to Step 5
5 Test the signal circuit of the brake fluid level switch for a short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? Go to Step 10 Go to Step 7
6 Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the brake fluid level switch. Refer to Testing for Intermittent and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? Go to Step 10 Go to Step 8
7 Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the instrument cluster (IPC). Refer to Testing for Intermittent and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? Go to Step 10 Go to Step 9
8 Replace the brake fluid level switch. Refer to Master Cylinder Fluid Level Sensor Replacement . Did you complete the repair? Go to Step 10 --
9 Replace the instrument cluster (IPC). Refer to Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) Replacement in Instrument Panel, Gauges and Console. Did you complete the repair? Go to Step 10 --
10 Operate the system in order to verify the repair. Did you correct the condition? System OK Go to Step 2

Thanks man..:cheers: I knew it had to be something simple. :D

 

Looks like it could be, hope so... :cheers:

 

You should have a letter before the 1247. C1247 was the only one I found for a 2001 car;

C1247 Hydraulic Brakes
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.

Sorry, someone was faster than me :D
