Had the Service Active Handling come up.. went and had the code read. They told me it was B0161. I did a search here and come up with nothing. Anyone have any info?

I think you have an incorrect code, P is powertrain,B is body,C is chassis,U is communications. So using this premise you have a c0161 code.

Service Information






2006 Chevrolet Corvette | Corvette VIN Y Service Manual | Brakes | Antilock Brake System | Diagnostic Information and Procedures | Document ID: 1460376
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


DTC C0161


Circuit Description


The brake pedal position (BPP) sensor is an input to the body control module (BCM). The BPP sensor is a potentiometer type sensor with a 5-volt reference circuit and a low reference circuit. The BCM supplies the 5-volt reference to the BPP.

DTC Descriptor


This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:

DTC C0161 ABS/TCS Brake Switch Circuit








DTC Symptom




DTC Symptom Descriptor






11




Above Maximum Threshold






12




Below Minimum Threshold









Conditions for Running the DTC


C0161 11






The ignition is ON.







The vehicle speed is greater than 16 km/h (10 mph).







The ignition voltage is greater than 8 volts.


C0161 12






The ignition is ON.







The ignition voltage is greater than 8 volts.


Conditions for Setting the DTC


C0161 11






The brake pedal is sensed as applied.







The vehicle speed is greater than 40 km/h (25 mph).







The vehicles acceleration exceeds 8 km/h per second (5 mph per second).


C0161 12






Brake pedal is not applied.







Master cylinder pressure is greater than 150 psi.







The vehicle speed is greater than 24 km/h (14 mph).







The vehicles deceleration exceeds 11.5 km/h per second (7 mph per second).


Action Taken When the DTC Sets


If equipped, the following actions occur:






The EBCM disables the engine drag control (EDC)/tire pressure monitor (TPM)/vehicle stability enhancement system (VSES) for the duration of the ignition cycle.







The Traction Control System (TCS) is degraded.







The Traction Control and Active Handling indicator turns ON.







The driver information center (DIC) displays the following messages:








-

Service Traction System








-

Service Active Handling







The ABS remains functional.


Conditions for Clearing the DTC







The condition for the DTC is no longer present and the DTC is cleared with a scan tool.







The EBCM automatically clears the history DTC when a current DTC is not detected in 100 consecutive drive cycles.


Diagnostic Aids


C0161 11
Possible causes of this DTC are the following conditions:







The BPP sensor circuit is shorted to voltage.







The BPP sensor needs recalibration.







A brake pedal that is binding


C0161 12
Possible causes of this DTC are the following conditions:







A signal circuit of the BPP sensor is open.







The BPP sensor needs recalibration.







All brake lamps are open.







All brake lamp grounds are open.







An internal BPP sensor malfunction


Test Description


The number below refers to the step number on the diagnostic table.

2 Test for the current state of the brake pedal position sensor.









Step




Action




Yes




No






Schematic Reference: Antilock Brake System Schematics






1




Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check – Vehicle?




Go to Step 2




Go to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle






2









1.

Install a scan tool.






2.

Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.






3.

Does the scan tool display Released?



Go to Step 3




Go to Step 4






3









1.

Press the brake pedal.






2.

With a scan tool, observe the BPP Reference Signal parameter.


Does the BPP Reference Signal parameter change state?
