C0019Left Rear Outlet Control
- Generic OBD-II code · Chassis
- Can trigger limp mode
- How the car detects it
- Covers the left rear outlet (release) solenoid valve of the ABS hydraulic modulator, the release counterpart to inlet valve C0018. It opens to dump brake fluid from the left rear caliper or wheel cylinder into the low-pressure accumulator so pressure can fall during an ABS or stability cycle, then closes for reapply. The module monitors the coil circuit for opens, shorts and out-of-range resistance and verifies valve response. A confirmed fault disables ABS, traction and stability control and sets the ABS warning lamp while base hydraulic braking remains. No manufacturer documents this code publicly; the release valve per wheel appears in NHTSA's brake safety study and, normally closed, in a pump patent.
