Default My GS is throwing these codes (ABS related?)

C0226
C0236
C0246
C0256
C1249
C1251
C1252
C1256
C1233
C1223

Any thoughts?? From what I've seen so far it looks like its the master brake cylinder. Just wanted to see if anyone else had similar issues and what exactly did they do or replace to fix this issue. Also, the brake now has to be pushed all the way down to actually work.

Make sure all your connections on the brake actuator (large aluminum block attached to the master cylinder) are good and clean. If so you probably need to replace the actuator. I just got C0226 but I think it was because the engine bay was recently pressure washed. Try clearing codes and see if they come back than go from there.

Anyone? Lol. Now as the car sits, the battery drains. Battery is 4 months old and I've already had the alternator checked out. I was told the alternator was fine. Any ideas? Thanks in advance

so i cleared some codes after cleaning some connections and now I'm left with C1251, C1256, C1223.

Thank you for pulling up those codes for me ^^^ i only posted them to see if anyone else had similar issues. But i appreciate it.

Glad to hear. BTW the C1223 code is ABS Control System Malfunction.

So it sounds like you MIGHT have to replace your BMC. Don't quote me on it, although all those DTC's are all BMC related. Good luck!
