1What it means in plain English
A chassis system has a fault, usually ABS, traction control or stability control, but some makes use this range for airbags, electric power steering or park brakes.
2Common causes
- Faulty wheel speed sensor
- Damaged sensor ring or wiring
- Faulty ABS module
- Low brake fluid
- Wheel bearing damage
3Can I drive?
If the code names an airbag or SRS system, the airbag may not deploy in a crash: have it diagnosed promptly. If it names electric power steering, the assist may fail and the steering can become heavy: stop safely if that happens. If it names the brakes or park brake, have it checked before driving when braking feels abnormal. Otherwise ABS and stability control may be disabled: drive carefully, especially in wet conditions, and have it checked soon.
This page gives general information. It is not professional advice. For a definite diagnosis and a repair quote, ask a qualified mechanic to inspect the car.
