I went to Autozone and had them pull my ABS codes. I've had my ABS/Trac Off lights on for at least 2 years and I am finally tired of looking at them so hopefully someone can help me out with this issue.

Codes:
B1218
B1222
B1226
B1243
B1245
B1247

I just recently put on new pads, master cylinder and drivers side hub.

Will these codes clear automatically once the problem is fixed or do I need to have them cleared?

Also, sometime in 2008 I had my passenger side front hub replaced and my ABS Modulator Valve.

This is on a 2002 SS.

Thanks for any help!

 

After some digging, it looks like the codes might start with C rather than B? B is what was given to me though.

 

Information from another forum, in case anyone else stumbles across these codes and needs help.

Yes, the codes start with 'C' since they are 'chassis' codes. You have quite a few codes, that cover different areas of the ABS system. I'll go into a bit more detail below, but to answer your other question…No, the codes will not clear once repairs have been made. They will need to be cleared with a scanner and then the car needs to be driven so all tests run and pass. The repairs needed to fix all of your problems will get very expensive. Now, let's get into all your codes…


C1218 – Pump Motor Circuit Shorted To Voltage – This can be either a faulty EBCM (ABS computer), or the actual motor/pump assembly that controls the flow of fluid during an ABS event. Sometimes with age and years of corrosion it will be difficult to separate the two units and both will require replacement. This can get upwards of $1000 to fix.


C1222 – Right Front Wheel Speed Sensor Circuit – This can be either a bad hub bearing, or the wiring harness to the speed sensor connection.


C1226 – Right Front Wheel Speed Sensor Circuit Range/Performance – Again, probably a hub or wiring problem.


C1243 – Pump Motor Circuit – General code, see code C1218 description.


C1245 – Low Tire Pressure Detected – Set the correct pressure in all four tires, and use the factory radio to reset the Tire Pressure Monitor and that code will clear.


C1247 – Low Brake Fluid Detected – Since you replaced the master cylinder, this code may be a history code or current if you forgot to plug in the level sensor on the master cylinder reservoir, or the sensor itself is bad.


Well, there you go. Good Luck in your repairs, it's gonna take a lot!! LOL

Sounds like that hub you had replaced in 2008 is going out again. Do you know what was put on?

 

That one was done by the dealership. The hub and modulator valve was about $1,800. I won't be doing that again. I'll live with the lights. I could replace the hub but no point if the motor is bad as it will still keep the lights on.
