Fault-code 01130 in Volkswagen (VAG): ABS Operation Implausible Signal

What does this fault code mean?

When fault code 01130 shows when reading the OBD-II codes in a car manufactured by the VAG group, this will likely indicate a fault in the ABS system. This fault is commonly observed with one of the following ABS units:

Symptoms of fault code 01130 (VAG)

Problems with the ABS system are serious because they manage the braking system in cars. Any malfunctioning components can compromise a driver’s ability to brake. The ABS light will illuminate to warn of an issue and can be accompanied by a flashing parking brake light.

Causes of fault code 01130 (VAG)

The description of the fault code (ABS operation) may imply that the cause is due to a defect in the ABS system itself, but the reality is often different. A variety of causes can create the problem. Besides a defective ABS unit, we often see that the cause is actually down to a blown fuse.

Our advice dealing with fault code 01130 (VAG)

If there is a fault code 01130 in a Volkswagen or another car from the VAG group, check the fuses first. Especially when the (screw-in) fuses are located close to the battery, they have the potential to blow. 

Remove and clean the fuse and verify that it works appropriately. Even though a fuse may appear functional this is not always true. If all fuses are tested and shown to operate correctly, it is likely that the fault can be found in the ABS unit. In that case, you can use the free search on our website to find the OEM number of the ABS unit that is fitted to the car. It is of course always possible to contact our customer services to discuss your remanufacture!
