C0131 Brake Pressure Sensor Error
Need some help here guys. I have a C0131 ABS code coming up. Can clear it and will come back after 5 mins of driving. Car drives fine but it turns off Active Handling throws the ABS light.
Had to drop front cradle alittle to help get my headers back in place and it pulled the steering shaft out of the column in the back. So I had to pop the bearing back into the base of the column.
What I could find is a C0131 is a brake pressure sensor code. I checked the connections under the hood and couldn't find anything unplugged. Wanna take another look under the dash to make sure nothing is unplugged.
Has anyone else encountered this? It's alittle frustrating because there almost no information on this one.

Ok issue resolved. Here is some info incase this happens to someone else.
When I was popping the column back in place my pry bar slipped and hit the brake pedal switch. The new ones read the exact pedal position, its not a simple on/off switch like other cars.
I just over looked this cause I didn't think it was a big deal. But the other night I realized I had NO brake lights. And I realized the Service ABS only came on AFTER I popped the column back in place. So I put two and two together and figured the only thing it could be is the brake pedal sensor.
Called Napa, $12 later I had one. The problem is you need a Tech 2 to have the EBCM relearn the pedal position.
Had a friend stop over tonight and recalibrate the pedal sensor, took the car out for a ride. No more service ABS and the lights are working again.
