DTC codes

DTC codes (Diagnostic Trouble Codes), have SOME common codes. These are usually related to problems that have to do with emissions, or things that are common to all engines/cars. The codes that you mentioned, are specific to YOUR make and model of vehicle (not all vehicles have wheel speed sensors - probably for the anti-lock braking system), and therefore the manufacturer's website would be the best place to search.

It means that your Anti-Lock Brake System is F.U.B.A.R..

This is very common in the Snow Belt Areas that salt the roads.

Be ready to spend some serious money.

If it's just the sensors, they aren't that big a deal - and they take all of 45 seconds to replace. If its something in the ABS pump/computer/hydraulic systems, yeah, that could lead to big bucks...

Yes - those two codes relate to the wheel speed sensors that are part of the ABS and/or traction control system if present on your car - two electronic sensors that measure wheel speed and tell the ABS system when/how much to apply the brakes.

Frequently, they get wet or work loose and send a false positive - sometimes just wiggling them into position works. Not a biggie, but if the codes persist you'd probably want to have someone qualified to look at them and replace if necessary.

And a factory manual for your car will explain ALL the DTCs...my Eldorado has about 400 of them. :)

I don't suppose it applies but I disposed of car I was very fond of because of persistent ABS malfunction that would prevent the thing stopping! So much for safety! Disabling the ABS was fine....up untill the annual inspection. I put it down to the fact that the toothed or serrated section of the hubs/driveshafts had become so corroded that the ECU could't determine the signal form the pick-ups. Uneconomic to replace 'em all. Now I grease those bits.

Looks like those codes are manufacturer specific and a good place to start sorting out theis problem would be the ABS sensors as suggested.

Here is a link to a site that contains a break down of what other DTC codes mean, it be useful for future reference:

That's a useful tip, but some names are conspicuously absent lie the one I drive! So much for standards.
