- Clear the DTCs. Repeat the IC (Instrument Cluster) self-test.

Is DTC U0129 still present?

Yes
INSTALL a new ABS module. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the IC (Instrument Cluster) self-test.

If DTC U0129 is still present, INSTALL a new IC (Instrument Cluster). REFER to Instrument Cluster (IC) . TEST the system for normal operation.

No
The system is operating correctly at this time. The DTC may have been set due to high network traffic.
