0130
Moderate0130 — Brake Pressure Sensor: No Signal
Description
What the Code Means
Code 0130 logs a missing signal from the brake system pressure sensor. The sensor sits inside the ABS pump, which defines the repair: it isn't replaced separately, and you can only reach it through the complete unit. Pressure sensor failure is common in ATE MK60 systems — on pumps of this type it's a typical fault.
Without the sensor signal, the ABS/DSC control unit gets no data on actual circuit pressure and can't run its logic correctly, so the system disables the affected functions and warns the driver.
Symptoms
Symptoms
- ABS and DSC warning lights are on in the instrument cluster;
- a brake pressure sensor fault is stored in the control unit memory.
Causes and fixes
Diagnosis and Repair
- Read the fault codes with diagnostic equipment (ISTA, INPA) and confirm that 0130 is the active fault.
- Check live data — missing pressure sensor readings confirm the diagnosis.
- Replace the ABS pump or rebuild the unit: the sensor is inside the pump and isn't serviced separately.
- After replacement or rebuild, bleed the brake system.
- Clear the fault codes and confirm the error doesn't return.
Possible secondary damage
Secondary Problems
- Loss of DSC function — stability control stops working;
- unsafe braking — without correct pressure data, the brake system and its assists aren't guaranteed to work.
