What does C1229 mean?

C1229 is a manufacturer-specific chassis diagnostic trouble code. It is defined as "Speed Wheel Sensor Rear Center Coherency Fault". It falls under the chassis systems area of the vehicle’s chassis system, and its exact meaning can vary between manufacturers.

When is C1229 set?

The onboard diagnostic system sets C1229 when it detects a condition matching "speed wheel sensor rear center coherency fault" in the chassis systems circuit or system. When the fault is confirmed, the module stores the code and, in most cases, turns on a warning light.

This code is generally minor and often relates to a signal, range or performance condition. It should still be inspected, especially if it returns after clearing.
