The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored if the brake control module (BCM) registers that the power supply to the body sensor cluster stability sensor (BSC) is too high or too low when then brake control module (BCM) is switched on.
The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) can be diagnosed when the ignition is switched on.
