About C0057

C0057 is a generic (obd-ii standard) chassis diagnostic trouble code. 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.

Because C0057 is a generic OBD-II code, its base definition is shared across manufacturers. The specific diagnostic steps, reference values, and repair procedures can vary by vehicle, and the TaT Diagnostic Assistant includes verified procedures submitted by working technicians.

Code Information

C0057 is stored by the ABS and stability control module when vehicle dynamics control has been interrupted, meaning the module has stopped providing stability and traction control intervention and has told the rest of the network why. It is very often a consequence code rather than a fault in the stability system itself, because the module will shut its own function down when the engine control module reports a fault that makes engine torque reduction unreliable, or when system voltage falls below the level the hydraulic unit needs, which on most applications is around 10V.
