DTC 1255H. History code, so probably not a current condition.

described as EBTCM Malfunction.

"Action Taken When DTC Sets

ABS/TCS/Active Handling (if equiped with RPO JL4) are disabled

Indicators that turn on:
- ABS Indicator
- Car Icon (TCS indicator)

Messages Displayed on the DIC:
- Service ABS
- Service Traction System
- Service Active HNDLG (if equipped with Active Handling RPO JL4)

Hope this helps,


Dan

It feels like the RIDE CONTROL is stuck in perf when the **** is in tour mode! Ride is rough. I had a right front shock that the 2 bottom shock bolts were extremely loose awhile back and we tightened them up. Don't know if this had something to do with it or not? :eek:

C1255 identifies a malfunction within the Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM). It is one of the Antilock Brake System fault codes. If you have access to a scan tool there are addition numbers (C1255xx) that help identify the internal malfunction.

If the fault is intermittent, it may be caused by poor connector mating, etc.

For a "current" fault, the service manual says to replace the EBCM.

vetteman407 - H code is a history code, usually nothing to worry about, your friends should have told you this! ;)

I can clear it but it comes back after a few miles of driving. At times these appear also:
U1160H
U1096H
U1064H
U1016H
I won't sweat it if my forum friends agree!
:cheers:

I would have the fault checked out - it is your brakes.

The service manual had a procedure to determine if the fault is current. This procedure will require access to a scan tool as the scan tool runs an automated test to determine if the fault is current.

Is the ABS indicator ON?

Is the Traction Control indicator ON?

Is the red Brake warning indicator ON?

Are you getting service ABS, service Traction System, service Active Handling messages on the DIC?

Is C1248 also being set?

The "Uxxx" codes were set because a communications (data link) problem exists among the modules.

U1160 is the Driver Door Module (DDM)
U1096 is the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC)
U1064 is the Body Control Module (BCM)
U1016 is the Powertrain Control Module (PCM)

When reading the DIC, there is a number that precedes the "Uxxx". That number will help identify where the communication fault is.

If it comes back on then maybe you just have a loose connector at the control module. Check all of your connections and maybe with a little bit of luck it'll be something simple :cheers:
