What does fault code 01130 indicate for FAW-Volkswagen vehicles?
2 Answers
FAW-Volkswagen fault code 01130 indicates that this code appears when the ABS is subjected to high-frequency electromagnetic interference or when the microprocessor deems the input speed signal unreliable. The following are possible causes: 1. Excessive fuel consumption: Common causes include clogged filters leading to restricted air intake, excessively high or low coolant temperatures, incorrect ignition timing, valve timing or idle speed adjustment, wear and failure of engine and major components, low cylinder pressure, leaks in fuel and air pipelines and connections, faults in sensors, connectors and wiring of the electronic control system, or faults in the ECU and its connectors. 2. Excessive lubricant consumption: Mainly caused by excessive wear of the engine's crank-connecting rod mechanism and valve train components, or oil burning/leakage due to failed oil seals.
Last month while driving, I encountered this 01130 fault code. The ABS warning light on the dashboard came on, and the brakes felt spongy - it was really close to causing an accident. I immediately looked it up and found it was an issue with the ABS pump motor circuit, which controls wheel lock-up during emergency braking. It was raining at the time, and I thought I couldn't take the risk - if the wheels locked up, that would be disastrous. I popped the hood myself to check the fuses first, and when they seemed fine, I drove straight to the repair shop for inspection. Turned out the motor wiring had aged, costing me a few hundred bucks to fix. Since then, I've been regularly checking the braking system - watching for warning lights to catch issues early. After all, when it comes to safety, it's better not to skimp on maintenance. Safety first!
