• ABS warning light on
• Reduced braking performance
• Unusual noises during braking
• Faulty wheel speed sensor
• Damaged wiring or connectors
• Malfunctioning brake control module
OBD-II: On-Board Diagnostics, a system that monitors vehicle performance.
ABS: Anti-lock Braking System, a safety system that prevents wheels from locking up during braking.
• C0035
• C0040
This code means there's a problem with one of the car's sensors that helps it stop safely. It's like when your toy car's brakes don't work well because something is blocking the wheels.
C0099 is a chassis code related to a malfunction in a vehicle's braking system sensor.
The C0099 code is triggered when the vehicle's control module detects an issue with one of the sensors responsible for monitoring the braking system. This could involve the wheel speed sensors or other components related to the braking system's electronic control.
• Scan the vehicle for codes using an OBD-II scanner.
• Inspect the wheel speed sensors and wiring for damage.
• Test the brake control module for proper operation.
• Replace the faulty wheel speed sensor.
• Repair or replace damaged wiring or connectors.
• Reprogram or replace the brake control module if necessary.
• OBD-II scanner
• Multimeter
• Basic hand tools

• Honda Accord
• Regularly inspect brake system components.
• Keep sensors and connectors clean and free of debris.
• Perform routine maintenance checks.
Sensor Issue
• Do not ignore the ABS warning light.
• Have the braking system checked by a professional.
• Avoid driving in conditions that require heavy braking until repaired.
Check with the vehicle manufacturer for warranty coverage on brake system components.
C0099 has been a common code in vehicles with advanced braking systems, often related to sensor failures due to wear and tear.
Moderate – It is important to address this issue soon to ensure safe braking performance.
Driving with a malfunctioning braking system can be dangerous and may violate vehicle safety regulations.
• Vehicle must be on a flat surface.
• Ensure the vehicle is in park with the engine off before inspection.
The wheel speed sensors are typically located near the wheel hubs or brake rotors.
Q: Can I drive with a C0099 code?
A: It's not recommended to drive with this code as it can affect your vehicle's braking performance.
Q: How can I reset the C0099 code?
A: The code can be reset using an OBD-II scanner, but it's important to fix the underlying issue first.
