If the BCM (Body Control Module) does not receive the stability-traction control indication message from the ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System) module for the programmed length of time or longer, the BCM (Body Control Module) and the IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) set DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) U0121:00.
