VW 01130 ABS Operation Implausible Signal Explained
VAG group vehicles such as Volkswagen, Audi, Seat, and Skoda all experience the common failure of their anti-lock braking (ABS) system. They are particularly vulnerable to the 01130 – ABS Operation Implausible Signal fault code, that will be discovered through diagnostic tests when they are carried out on the vehicle, indicating a fault within the ABS unit itself.
What are the Symptoms of VW 01130?
When the ABS unit malfunctions, it significantly undermines the emergency braking safety of the vehicle, leading to limited functionality and reliance on standard braking. The VW 01130 fault code is typically indicated by a continuously illuminated ABS warning light on the dashboard, sometimes accompanied by a traction control light, indicating further ABS system failure. These warning lights will persist until the fault is rectified.
Causes of 01130 ABS Operation Implausible Signal
The 01130 ABS Operation Implausible Signal fault code establishes that the malfunction is within the hydraulic motor of the unit, however, there are many causes of the VW 01130 fault, from a faulty ABS unit, to a damaged fuse.
Faulty ABS units are often caused by design flaws that are present within the internal circuits, which leads to the system malfunctioning. Resulting in intermittent faults at first, but as these internal circuits begin to breakdown, these failure will become more frequent. Ultimately, this results in the complete failure of the ABS, and the loss of emergency braking safety.
