Every so often I get a service stability control, service abs, service traction control message on the DIC. 13 Base Vert with approx. 63k miles on it. All 4 TPMS sensors are fine. All new pads and rotors (this would happen before that though).
I turn the ignition off and back on and it goes away. Scanned for codes as I had to replace my brake pedal position sensor due to a no start condition. Which that fixed.
Codes are C0131-0 ABS SYSTEM PRESSURE CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION and C0161-00 ABS BRAKE SYSTEM SWITCH CIRCUIT. Both in the EBCM module. Is there something I should look at or is it possible the pedal position switch failing caused this?
I figure the sensor was the cause of my no crank and PRESS BRAKE TO START message that didn’t go away with the pedal pushed. I was getting a C0277-06 BRAKE PEDAL POSITION SWITCH SHORT TO GROUND OR OPEN. I cleared the DTCs and drove the car about 10 miles and the problem didn't return but the Traction/Stability error would go weeks without showing up before.
I see you're the assistant manager of an auto repair shop so what service information have you looked at...Mitchell, Alldata ??...you need to look at what sets the DTC, if there are any current TSB's applicable to your model year, diagnostics aids, and then circuit testing...sorry but no magic bullet repair here...if your shop is unfamiliar with this type of testing take your car to an auto electric shop.
