What does this fault code mean?
The parking brake module (PBM) supplies the left brake caliper and checks how much current it draws on activation. The fault code is stored when the current does not reach the correct level, and the cause is a mechanical fault in the left brake caliper, for example that it has been assembled incorrectly.
Possible causes
- Mechanical fault in the left brake caliper, for example incorrect assembly
