# Service bulletin 2013\-04

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

- Published by NHTSA: 2018\-07\-23
- Manufacturer's number: 2013\-04
- Manufacturer's date: 2013\-04\-30

## NHTSA's summary

Instances of ABS \(Anti\-Lock Braking System\) tell tale lamp illumination accompanied with fault code C0460 \(pressure sensor failure\) have been reported back to Lotus Cars. Although the pressure sensor located within the ABS module is non\-serviceable; another potential cause of this problem is the brake light switch plunger being incorrectly set. Incorrect setting of the switch plunger will result in the ABS brake line pressure being too high at the time of brake light activation, thus generating a fault code and illuminating the ABS or Service tell tale lamp.
