C0025 Code – ABS / Brake System Fault

The C0025 Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is a manufacturer-specific chassis code related to the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS). The exact definition varies by vehicle manufacturer and may indicate a problem with a wheel speed sensor, brake booster circuit, or another ABS component.

Common Symptoms

  • ABS warning light ON.
  • Brake warning light illuminated.
  • Traction Control (TCS) or Electronic Stability Control (ESC) disabled.
  • Reduced ABS performance during hard braking.

Possible Causes

  • Faulty ABS wheel speed sensor.
  • Damaged sensor wiring or connectors.
  • Open or short circuit in the ABS sensor circuit.
  • Damaged tone ring or wheel bearing.
  • Brake booster or brake booster solenoid failure (certain GM vehicles).
  • ABS control module malfunction.
  • Low battery voltage or charging system fault.

How to Diagnose

  1. Scan the ABS module for stored DTCs.
  2. Review Freeze Frame information.
  3. Monitor ABS Live Data and compare wheel speed sensor values.
  4. Inspect the wiring harness, connectors, and tone ring.
  5. Check sensor resistance and power supply if applicable.
  6. Repair the fault, clear the code, and perform a road test.
