This DTC will not cause observable conditions or result from concerns with other vehicle systems. Diagnose all other DTCs before addressing U0253:00. This DTC should be disregarded when performing diagnostics for concerns unrelated to the ABS system. If an ABS system concern is present, perform normal diagnostics.
