Stability Control: A system that helps maintain vehicle control during extreme steering maneuvers.
• C1156
• C1157
This code means that the car's computer thinks there's a problem with how the back wheels are turning or sliding when you drive. It's like the car is having trouble keeping the back wheels steady.
The code C1155 indicates an issue with the vehicle's system that controls the rear axle's slip angle, which is important for stability and handling.
The C1155 code is triggered when the vehicle's stability control system detects a problem with the rear axle's slip angle control. This system helps ensure the vehicle remains stable during turns and slippery conditions by adjusting the angle of the rear wheels. If the system is not performing as expected, this code is set.
• Check for any stored codes and freeze frame data.
• Inspect the rear wheel speed sensors and connections.
• Test the stability control module for proper operation.
• Replace faulty rear wheel speed sensor.
• Repair or replace damaged suspension components.
• Reprogram or replace the stability control module if necessary.
• OBD-II scanner
• Multimeter
• Basic hand tools
