Default Traction, handling & ebcm issues

My 2001 C5 has been showing 1214C code. I have been resetting it and ignoring it for now.

Questions: Does the ebcm control traction control and anti-lock brakes?

Incident: Was getting on it on an on ramp and between shifting gears, the car felt like a tire spun or bounced. At this time, the dash showed traction control off then the dash went blank.

What is M code?

I likely need to replace the ebcm but mine does not have the letter(s) sticker on the unit. I know there are various letters on these units. I do have Z-51 handling package as well. Just don't know which ebcm to purchase.

Your's being an 01 it can be fixed. Plenty of write ups on this forum. About $10 in parts or send it to abs fixer for $150.

Thanks guys for all the helpful info. I can tackle this project myself. I did locate the sticker letters on my ebcm = "SB".
