Causes

  • Faulty rear axle pressure regulating valve (stuck, internal leak, or solenoid failure)
  • Open/shorted wiring or poor connector/ground to the valve or ABS hydraulic unit
  • Corroded or damaged electrical connector at the hydraulic unit
  • Low or contaminated brake fluid, air in hydraulic lines
  • Failure inside ABS/hydraulic control module or valve body
  • Related fuses, relays or power supply fault

Symptoms

  • ABS / DSC / traction control warning lamp illuminated
  • Reduced or altered brake force distribution at rear axle
  • ABS intervention may be erratic or unavailable under hard braking
  • Brake pedal may feel different (pulsation or a firmer/softer feel)
  • Possible brake fluid leak or low fluid level indication
  • Traction control or stability systems may be limited or disabled

What to check

  • Read and record DTCs and freeze-frame data with a manufacturer-capable scan tool
  • Visual inspection of ABS hydraulic unit, connectors and wiring for damage or corrosion
  • Check brake fluid level and condition; inspect for external leaks
  • Verify related fuses and power/ground circuits at ABS control unit
  • Attempt to actuate/command the rear pressure regulating valve using a diagnostic tool and observe response
  • Measure continuity and resistance of valve solenoid and check for short to ground or open circuit

Signal parameters

  • Supply voltage to ABS hydraulic unit should be battery voltage (~11–14 V) with ignition on
  • When commanded, control signal is typically a PWM output from ABS module — duty cycle will vary; verify presence with diagnostic tool or oscilloscope
  • Solenoid coil resistance — consult vehicle service manual for exact spec; compare measured value to spec and check for open/short
  • When actuated, hydraulic pressure in the rear circuit should change according to manufacturer pressure targets (verify with pressure gauge or diagnostic data)
  • No continuity to ground when system is expected to be inactive (verify grounding path only when safe and per manual)

Diagnostic algorithm

  1. Connect a qualified diagnostic scanner and confirm C1057 and any related codes. Save freeze-frame and live data.
  2. Perform a visual inspection: check ABS hydraulic unit area, connectors, wiring harness routing and signs of fluid contamination or corrosion.
  3. Check brake fluid level and condition. Top up if low and inspect for leaks. Do not drive with low fluid without repair.
  4. Check fuses and supply/ground at the ABS control unit. Repair any open circuits or poor grounds.
  5. With connector disconnected, measure solenoid coil resistance and compare to factory specification. Check for short to ground or battery.
  6. Reconnect and use the diagnostic tool to command the rear pressure regulating valve while observing live data and listening/feeling for valve activation. If possible, measure hydraulic pressure change with an appropriate pressure gauge.
  7. If valve does not respond electrically but receives correct command signal and power/ground, the valve or ABS hydraulic unit is likely faulty.
  8. If valve electrical tests are good but hydraulic response is incorrect, consider internal hydraulic blockage/leak or replace/repair valve body.
  9. After repairs, clear codes and perform a controlled road test/ABS self-test to confirm fault does not return. Re-bleed system if the hydraulic unit was opened or replaced.
  10. If problem persists, follow module-level diagnostic flows from manufacturer; replacement or reprogramming of ABS control unit may be required.

Likely causes

  • Solenoid coil open or shorted
  • Connector corrosion or broken pin at the hydraulic unit
  • Loss of supply or ground to valve when commanded
  • Hydraulic contamination or internal valve sticking
  • Partial failure of ABS modulator controlling the valve

Fault status
