Ok as you know I had my brakes and brake booster done etc. (I didn't have any CEL error codes before my brake booster and master cylinder repair though, but my ABS light was on though etc.). So I scanned it and in the pictures below will show you the error codes. So what I am going to try and do is clear the codes and see which ones comes back. This has to be the most CEL codes I have ever had at one time ( I know not to worry about the P1000 code etc.). But the others? Any idea what they could mean?

Hi Warren,

There are three problems here, please start a new thread for the codes P0174 and the other P codes separately. We will handle the C codes on this thread, which is the ABS control module that might be bad. I would remove the electrical connector to check for corrosion. Also, use this guide to help check the ABS fuses, here are the fuses you should check in the images below.

Check out the images (below). Let us know what you find.

So far I haven't had anybody to check the fuse voltage yet. Also, I just thought about something. I remember pulling fuse 19 (under the hood) Because the brakes on my van would do a jerky motion when it would try and stop. Well I never put that fuse back. Because it made my van stop jerking when it stops etc. Also that fuse was rated at 60A. Shouldn't that be a 30A fuse instead? And when I pulled it, it wasn't blown(I still have the fuse too). Would that cause error codes C1185, C1096 and C1229 to show up? Just asking is because I have had the following parts replaced since then, Brake Master Cylinder, Brake Booster and new brake shoes and brake drums. Last but not least the speed sensor that's in the middle of the back axle has never been changed far as I know of anyway.

Yes, I would put the fuse back in, this should stop some of the codes if not all. Let me know what happens.
