J 197 sensor

Post by Groovydog »

I wonder if anyone can help me, recently had abs light come on and fault code seems to be (j197) level control system control module, after googling like mad i dont know if this refers to the 2 sensors on nearside or the main module, sorry for my ignorance,

Sensors normally have a G prefix identifiers and modules and control units normally have J prefix identifier therefore I would say J197 is the module.

Surprised this module is triggering an ABS fault as the module and sensors are used for the adaptive suspension (DCC).

Hi Bob, thanks for your response, ye its a bit wierd, the DCC aint worked for a couple of years, when i plugged carista in, there were 2 faults listed under the abs section, one i managed to clear but the fault i listed earlier will not clear and abs light is still on, i believe they are connected somehow, would you have any knowledge of module i would need and where it would be on car?

I should add that there are self study guides available if you do a bit of googling.
