# Service bulletin 2013\-17

## Other bulletins for the same vehicles and component

- [2013\-04](/bulletins/10143119.md), 2018-07-23, Service bulletin: EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TAIL LIGHTS:SWITCH; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK; SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:SUPPLY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS. 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.
