Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Pinpoint Test W : C006B:00: Notes
Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
The ABS module uses data from the wheel speed sensors, stability sensor data from the RCM and steering wheel rotation data from the SCCM to determine when ABS or stability control intervention is necessary to help stabilize the vehicle. On vehicles equipped with adaptive steering, the steering wheel rotation data is sent from the SASM-clockspring assembly. On vehicles not equipped with adaptive steering, the steering wheel rotation data is sent from the steering wheel rotation sensor.
The ABS module uses the HCU to modulate brake fluid pressure to the brake calipers and continues to monitor sensor and module input until the instability event has been corrected. Once the sensors and modules indicate the instability event has been corrected, the ABS module deactivates the HCU.
Underinflated tires, wheels and tires not matching VC label specifications, suspension and steering damage, and one or more sensor failures contribute to the ABS module setting this DTC.
DTC Fault Trigger Conditions
| DTC | Description | Fault Trigger Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| C006B:00 | Stability System Active Too Long: No Sub Type Information | This DTC is set if the ABS module detects continuous ABS, ESC or RSC control activations for an implausible time period. |
Possible Causes
- Tire pressure
- Wheel and tire size
- Chassis damage
- Steering damage or alignment
- Wheel speed sensor
- Wheel speed sensor encoders
- Steering wheel rotation sensor (vehicles not equipped with adaptive steering)
- SASM-clockspring (vehicles equipped with adaptive steering)
- SCCM
- RCM sensors
- ABS module

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
