I'm also getting this after putting in Vette Lights Laser LED taillights, 3rd brake light, and hyperflash module. I just emailed them a few minutes ago once I narrowed the code down to C1295. I was debating ripping the lights and all back out, but I read a bunch of threads where LED lights cause C1295. That was the only other thing I did besides change the battery.

I'd resistor Sylvania to the third brake light and the problem will be done

So I started getting the Service ABS/Traction Control message after an LED third brake light is that why? It only happens when I put my left blinker on. I have halo tails and it never happened till the third brake light.

I was having the same issue as others, added the resistor to the third brake light and it was working fine for about a month. Now when I'm crusing about 5 mins after the car warms up the TCS light pops up when the brakes are applied. It goes away after the car has restarted but always come back when braking. Any remedies to fix this issue?

Which resistor did you use?

I put in the recommend Sylvania resistor on my 3rd brake wires tonight and that should clear up my c1295 code. Will report back if it does or doesn't

My traction light came back on and my brake lights aren't working when stepping on the brake pedal. I'm going to try adding a resistor to the third brake light.

Added the third brake light resistor to no avail. My brake lights won't turn in when depressing my brake pedal but the 3rd brake light will. Turn signals work currently throwing tcs 1295.

I'm running the vette lights tails and 3rd brake light along with side markers. I did find my issue, had to bust out the power probe and check the circuit. Discovered that one of the previous owners had damaged a wire going to the brake switch. Instead of soldering they used a wire connector. The wire connector for some reason got really hot and looks like it melted a bit. Not sure what caused that, maybe it somehow shorted to something but regardless. I removed that section and soldered in a section and was back in business with all tail lights operating.

^ good job man! We run the same set so it makes sense that something else was the culprit

Default Possible fix for 1295 code

So here’s my story,I have an O2 base, and it had a viper alarm system in it.I’ve added LED turn signals front and rear, and I’ve had to add the hyper flash relay.I didn’t have any trouble with the car throwing any kind of codes it was fine, until the headlight switch quit working on low beam, I had high beam all the time. So I replaced the headlight switch, and since some of the viper alarm system , which I’ve never used and don’t even know if it works, was wired through the headlight switch harness I decided to remove all of it.I tested everything in the shop. It all seemed to work OK, the next morning I pull the car out of the shop turn it around go to drive out of the driveway. It’s dark so I turn on the headlights, and pops the 1295 code.
So I was curious about doing a workaround, something in the alarm system must’ve been keeping the code from setting.I checked first that the brake lights were working, they were and I checked that the hazards , oh and that also sets a 1295 code , turning on the hazard that is.I swapped out the tail light bulbs for 3157, that cured the headlight switch, causing it, but the hazard switch still caused it.So I put my LEDs back in the tail lights, and I went looking for another option. The viper was wired into the white wire coming out of the brake light switch…So I grabbed a resistor that came with some LED tail lights, and I put it back to the already stripped wire that was by the brake light switch, the white one it’s tied to the light blue one which is the output out of the brake light switch, going to the tail lights and everything else that it does , and I grounded it to a nearby screw in the dash. Viagra !!! , the problems gone away ! no more 1295 code at all !
I would suppose that if you put a resistor in the third brake wiring, it would be doing the same thing.No, it did nothing to slow down the hyper flash for the hazard flashers, but no codes !
