C0099: 4WD/AWD Rear Differential Unit Actuator A Position Sensor A

Standardized SAE J2012 code · C00xx codes

Safety-critical system. Faults in airbags, brakes, steering or high-voltage components can put people at risk. Follow the manufacturer's service information and safety procedures, or have the vehicle checked by a qualified workshop.

What does C0099 mean?

The ABS control module fails its internal self-test (RAM, ROM or processor watchdog). ABS and stability control are disabled.

The code tells you which monitor failed, not which part is broken. Test before replacing parts.

Symptoms

  • ABS warning light on
  • ESC/stability control deactivated
  • Possible reduced brake assist
  • Speedometer may behave erratically

Common causes

  • High Module internally failed
  • Medium Power supply undervoltage during operation
