    Default DCM code diagnosis - help?

    Anti-skid warning, off and on for a week or two. RELUCTANTLY, went to dealer and diagnosed with two codes: DCM-0130, DCM-0136

    Recommended doing a software update ($80).
    Anyone have any info they can share regarding the codes, diagrams, schematics etc? If it is a bad sensor, I would try to tackle it myself.

    See my reply to your message for specifics but I think you mean BCM-130 and BCM-136 which relate to the brake pressure sensor(s) on the master cylinder. According to VIDA, these exist only on those vehicles with the DTSC option and by reading thru what VIDA has to say, it makes sense to the symptoms you are seeing. Without actually touching things, it sounds like a bad wire or connector to me if the problem is intermittent, but that is purely speculative on my part.

    Good luck,

    That may very well be the case.
    I also had an "anti skid service required" message a while ago. After "relocating" the connectors under the passenger
    seat (where part of the DSTC system lives), the message went away and hasn't returend (yet)
