what does C1201 code mean for my Toyota Camry XV50 (2012-2017) stability control?

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools and replacement parts.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and securely lift it using jack stands.
• Disconnect the battery to avoid electrical shorts or shocks.

2. Inspect and Replace Vehicle Speed Sensor

• Tools Required: Socket set, multimeter, torque wrench
• Sub-steps:
  1. Locate the vehicle speed sensor, typically found on the transmission.
  2. Disconnect the electrical connector from the sensor.
  3. Remove the sensor using a socket wrench.
  4. Inspect the old sensor for damage or debris; replace it with a new sensor if faulty.
  5. Install the new sensor and torque it to the manufacturer's specifications (usually around 6-8 Nm).
  6. Reconnect the electrical connector securely.

3. Check ABS Module and Wiring

• Tools Required: Visual inspection tools, multimeter
• Sub-steps:
  1. Inspect the ABS module for any signs of physical damage or water ingress.
  2. Check all wiring and connectors leading to and from the ABS module for continuity and integrity.
  3. If any wiring is damaged, repair or replace as necessary.
  4. Ensure the brake fluid is at the proper level and condition; replace if contaminated.

4. Reconnect Battery and Clear Codes

• Reconnect the battery terminals.
• Use the OBD-II scanner to clear the C1201 code and any other stored codes.
• Ensure the scanner indicates no active or pending codes.
