What does this fault code mean?
The brake control module (BCM) receives a request from the front monitoring module (FSM) to activate the brake function for collision mitigation. The code is set if the FSM asks for braking too frequently or for an extended period. The fault normally lies in the FSM and not in the brake module.
Possible causes
- Damaged front monitoring module (FSM)
What you can do
- 1Read codes in the front monitoring module and troubleshoot them first
- 2Do not replace the brake control module for this code, as the fault lies in the FSM
- 3After a road test, check that automatic braking does not activate without reason
- 4The collision and brake systems are safety-critical, so have a workshop carry out any work on the monitoring system and the brake control module
Symptoms you may notice1
- The brake pedal needs more force than normal
