C0031 and C006C resolution/fix

So a friends 2017 RTL sat all summer while she was away. When she went to use it, it went into limp mode and had the C0031 and C006C error codes. Brake fuild was low, and when topped off the problem was still there. All the light worked fine and brake switch was not stuck on. After check everything that tihis and other google search recommended I started looking at the ABS sensor cable on the left front wheel. A neighbor down the street had mice or rats eat up a bunch of wiring on the same year, model and Champagne Color.

Well what I found was mices had eaten throught the wire completely inside the frame pass where the upper A-Frame attaches. I removed the cable and repaired it as a test. Reinstall and it, fired it up and no limp mode on C0031 and C006C. I gave me the part number to order a new sensor/cable.

To disconnect the sensor cable, slide the grey clip out and then sweeze it.

The out jacket on this sensor wire is very tuff, but not to mice.

Nice work. I love DIY repairs.

I am a cheap bugga, if the wire was long enough, I would have soldered and heat shrinked the conection and called it a day!! Good work on the diagnosing work!!! Good Find!!!:2thumbs:

So I guess what we learned here is mice like 2017 Champagne colored RTL's :roflblack:
