Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) information

Condition





Note! This diagnostic trouble code (DTC) applies only to brake systems with dynamic stability and traction control (DSTC).

During stability control the brake control module (BCM) transmits a signal to the pressure build-up valve. The valve opens and releases atmospheric pressure into the brake power booster. This increases the brake pressure in the brake system automatically. The function is used for traction control and in active brake assistance.
Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) BCM-0139 is stored if the control module registers an implausible signal from the pressure build-up valve.

Substitute value
- Traction control is blocked
- Stability control is blocked
- Active yaw control is blocked
- Brake assistance is blocked.

Hint: For information about abbreviations, see Brake system, abbreviations Brake System, Abbreviations.
