## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, a fault within the antilock brake system \(ABS\) may cause the module to fail during ABS and/or electronic stability control \(ESC\) activation.  This will cause warning lights for ABS, brake and the ESC systems to illuminate.  If this happens, the brake system related vehicle stabilizing functions \(ABS/ESC\) may not be available, increasing the risk of a loss of vehicle control and could lead to a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will update the ABS control module with improved diagnostic capability to detect insufficient PCU ground connection.  ABS modules with insufficient ground connections will be replaced.
