What does this fault code mean?

The brake control module (BCM) has not been configured, because the CEM did not send it the vehicle data during the first ignition cycle. The code is set when the configuration information is missing, and it primarily points to a fault in the CEM.

Possible causes

Fault in the central electronic module (CEM), which is not sending configuration data

What you can do

1Read codes in the central electronic module and troubleshoot them first, as the fault most often lies there
2Do not replace the brake control module for this code, as it has no internal hardware fault
3Clear the code only once the fault in the central electronic module has been corrected, and check that it does not return
4The brake system is safety-critical, so have a workshop carry out any work on the central electronic module and the brake control module

Symptoms you may notice5

ABS warning lamp lit
General warning lamp on
Stability function does not work
Traction control does not work
Anti-skid function does not work

What the fault can affect2

Stability control and traction control are disabled
Dynamic stability control (AYC) is disabled

General guidance for car owners. Diagnosis on the car can point to a different cause.
