QuestionIs it possible to maually clear a fault code:-
C1142-(latteral acceleration sensor open circuit)
On a 2000 Mercedes-Benz S320 (52K miles)
and what has caused the fault?
AnswerAnswer:
Not that I am aware of.
C1142 ABS Lateral Acceleration Sensor Open/Shorted
Periodic abnormality is detected in the signal wave pattern from the ABS wheel-speed sensors.
This is an ABS code, when you repair the fault, the error code will clear.
The following link will help you understand the system function, and diagnosis, however the wiring terminal numbers will be wrong for your car.
