Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Information






DTC information

Condition





In cars with TRACS, the control module registers how much the brakes are used and calculates the temperature of the front wheel brake discs. DTC ABS-144 is posted if the estimated temperature exceeds 450 degrees C.

Substitute value

- The TRACS warning light comes on and TRACS cuts out when the code is posted. The warning light goes off and TRACS returns to normal when the estimated temperature falls below 350 degrees C.
- ABS and EBD are available continuously.

Possible source

The brakes have been used so much that the brake disc temperature is too high.

Fault symptom[s]

TRACS will cut out until the brake disc temperature falls below 350 degrees C.
