What does this fault code mean?
The brake control module has registered an electrical fault in the inlet valve for the left front wheel in the hydraulic unit. The inlet valve controls brake pressure to the wheel during ABS and stability regulation. The fault may be due to an internal disturbance or a fault in the module.
Possible causes
- Fault inside the brake control module (BCM)
What you can do
- 1Activate the valves in the hydraulic unit with diagnostic equipment; if no ticking sound is heard, the module has an internal fault
- 2Clear the code and road test; if it returns, a workshop should replace the brake control module
- 3After replacement, programming and calibration are needed, as a new module is supplied without software
- 4The brake system is safety critical: do not work on the brake control module or hydraulic unit yourself, and drive carefully until the fault is fixed
Symptoms you may notice5
- Information lamp on
- General warning lamp on
- The brake circuit does not work and the warning lamp comes on
- Traction control does not work
- Anti-spin and anti-skid do not work
What the fault can affect3
- ABS is disabled
- Traction control, stability control and active yaw control (AYC) are disabled
- Electronic brake force distribution (EBD) and brake assist are disabled
General guidance for car owners. Diagnosis on the car can point to a different cause.
