C1214 Code ? Please advise (HELP)

[gowiththeflow]

Hi - I have two (2) Indicator Lights on, that have been on for the past 2 weeks :
1. ABS
2. Traction Control
I had it scanned and the code states (C1214). Can anyone give me some advice to remove this code.

Thanks,

C1214 is an ABS/TCS fault...but you know that. More specifically, it's a failure in the system relay.

The DTC sets if system voltage drops below 8v more than a quarter of a second when the system is commanded on and the system voltage is 10.5v or above.

The only solutions are replacement of the EBCM or both the EBCM and the BPMV...not cheap.

I'd clear codes and road test, if the fault sets again, you'll need the FSM and a scan tester which supports ABS/TCS diagnostics to decide with unit to replace. If you lack the tester, go see your dealer or an indpendant service facility with the appropriate diagnostic tools.
