Default The cursed C1255 code

Does anyone have any insight as to why EBCM's with codes C1242 & C1243 can be repaired and those with C1255 cannot?

So then the 12:55s code is because of the other two I thought 1255 was a kiss of death

I was just responding to this blanket statement. 97-2000 are repairable, but only for two codes.

I called ABSFixer and they told me that they couldnt repair EBCM's with the 1255 code. Just curious if anyone has drilled down as to why.
Thanks for the feedback.

So the organization that is in the business of repairing EBCMs could not tell you why a C1255 code was not repairable?
