Diagnostic Aids
If this DTC is set along with DTC P0300, it may represent an invalid misfire due to a loss of rough road data.
Several ABS system problems could cause a loss of rough road indication from the EBTCM. All ABS/TCS system problems and DTCs should be corrected first. Then duplicate the conditions under which DTC P1380 set and see if the problem reoccurs.
