This summary uses the existing diagnostic information shown in full below.
This code means that the car's computer has detected a problem with a sensor that helps control the brakes. It's like the car is saying, 'I can't tell where the brake helper is.'
The code C058D is triggered when the vehicle's control module detects a high voltage signal from the brake booster motor position sensor circuit.
The brake booster motor position sensor monitors the position of the brake booster motor. When the sensor circuit sends a voltage signal that is higher than the expected range, the control module sets the C058D code, indicating a potential issue with the sensor or its circuit.
• Illuminated check engine light
• Reduced braking performance
• Unusual brake pedal feel
• Faulty brake booster motor position sensor
• Wiring issues such as open or short circuits
• Faulty control module
Brake Booster: A device that increases the force applied to the brakes.
Sensor Circuit: The electrical pathway that connects the sensor to the vehicle's control module.
• Use an OBD-II scanner to confirm the code.
• Inspect the wiring and connectors for damage or corrosion.
• Test the brake booster motor position sensor for proper operation.
• Replace the brake booster motor position sensor if faulty.
• Repair or replace damaged wiring or connectors.
• Replace the control module if necessary.
• OBD-II scanner
• Multimeter
• Wrench set

Moderate
• Chevrolet Silverado
• GMC Sierra
• Cadillac Escalade
• Regularly inspect brake system components.
• Ensure electrical connections are clean and secure.
• Perform routine maintenance checks.
Sensor Issue
• Have your brakes checked by a professional.
• Do not ignore the warning light; it could affect braking performance.
Check with your vehicle manufacturer for specific warranty coverage related to the brake system.
This code has been more prevalent in vehicles with electronic brake booster systems introduced in the last decade.
High – Braking issues can affect vehicle safety and should be addressed promptly.
Driving with compromised braking performance can lead to accidents. Ensure repairs are done by a qualified technician.
• Vehicle stationary with engine running
• Brake pedal depressed
The brake booster motor position sensor is typically located near the brake booster under the hood.
Q: Can I drive with a C058D code?
A: It's not recommended to drive with this code as it may affect your braking performance.
Q: How do I reset the C058D code?
A: After repairs, use an OBD-II scanner to clear the code. If the issue persists, the code will reappear.
