Brake System Control Module B Requested MIL Illumination

Moderate severity

What it means

A second brake system control module (typically the redundant secondary unit on by-wire or AV-grade brake systems) has signalled an emissions-relevant fault and requested the engine controller to switch on the MIL.

Is it safe to drive?

Use caution

The vehicle is usually drivable for short distances, but the problem can worsen or affect emissions. Diagnose and repair as soon as practical.

Most likely causes

  • Active DTC stored in the secondary brake module
