Service active handling
I have 2002 A4 vert with about 105000 miles. For last 3 months I have been getting a strange pulsating vibration intermittently (used to be about once a week, now several times a week) when my foot touches the brake pedal. It feels like the vibration you would get from one of those toy "joy buzzers" you would hide in your hand that we used to play with in the 50's only on my foot. It lasts less than a second & is just as I begin to brake then stops. I do not drive the car hard or brake hard to produce this. Took the car into West Coast Corvette for 100,000 mile service & described problem to them. They immediately said it was warped rotors & I needed a complete brake job which I had them do. Still have the problem after brake job + DIC says service active handling. Pulled codes: C1214H, C1287, C1288H; B0521H; B2282H, B2284H, B2264H, U1064H, B2283H, B2285H, B2265H, U1064. I cleared all codes then checked them again the first time symptoms reappeared. Got no codes. I had the EBCM replaced by our guy in Missouri about 5 years ago. Anybody have this happen or any idea what might be going on? Thx so much.

That doesn't bode well for West Coast Corvette. The symptoms you described don't indicate a rotor problem. You may have needed brakes anyway, but they should have pulled the codes from your description. Hopefully Bill Curley will chime in on the codes, he seems to have a lot of experience in this area. Good luck from another guy in North Tustin. Rod
