About C1A6E

C1A6E is a manufacturer-specific chassis diagnostic trouble code recorded for Infiniti vehicles. It belongs to the C-prefix family of codes, which covers chassis, braking, steering, suspension, or stability-control faults.

Scanning & clearing: Chassis (C) codes are stored in the ABS, traction control, or stability-control modules. An enhanced or OEM-level scan tool is usually required to read and clear them.

C1A6E is a manufacturer-specific code. The same code string on a different make may have a different meaning. Always confirm the code's definition against the vehicle's service information for the specific make and model under test.

Code Information

The Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) and ABS control module monitors the operational status of the EV/HEV system over CAN communication to coordinate regenerative braking, torque control, and stability functions. DTC C1A6E is set when the VDC/ABS module receives a fault status signal from the EV/HEV control system, or when EV/HEV operation is restricted due to an internal hybrid or electric drive malfunction. As a fail safe response the module limits or disables stability and brake control functions, and the driver may notice warning lamps illuminated along with reduced drive performance.
