J 197 sensor
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,

Re: J 197 sensor
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).

Re: J 197 sensor
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.
