2010 Volkswagen Golf: ABS light or ABS activating

Filed Oct 26, 2026 · Brakes · WA

The ABS control module (Continental MK60EC1, part number 1K0 907 379 AH) in my 2010 Volkswagen Golf has failed. The vehicle's ABS and electronic stability control are inoperative. The failed module is still installed in the vehicle and is available for inspection upon request. On October 26, 2026, an authorized Volkswagen dealer inspected the vehicle with the factory diagnostic system and confirmed the failure: the module stores fault 01130 (ABS operation, implausible signal, recorded 16 times) and fault 16352 (control module faulty, recorded 31 times and currently present as "static" — the module reporting itself defective). These are the same two faults Volkswagen attributes in Safety Recall 16V913000 to an insufficient PCU ground connection inside this module, which can cause it to fail during ABS or ESC activation. Without ABS/ESC, the vehicle has longer stopping distances and no stability control in an emergency maneuver or on wet roads, increasing the risk of a loss of vehicle control. My vehicle was excluded from recall 16V913000 only because its serial number falls after the recall's 2010 Golf range, so it never received the recall's software update or module replacement — the module still runs its original factory software (version 0107, which predates the recall). The dealer confirmed the module is faulty but declined to request coverage from Volkswagen, citing the vehicle's age. The manufacturer itself has not inspected the vehicle. I am asking the federal safety agency to review whether the 16V913000 population should include vehicles with this identical module failure.

Abs warning lights intermittently for many months- go on and off along with airbag warning frequently- several mechanics could not diagnose. Recently brake warning lights came on at same time as ABS and airbag warnings. Brake system checked out fine. On replacement of wheel speed ABS sensor, discovered central ABS control module error (dtc 01130). Vw had already issued a safety recall ( 45f2) for the ABS sensor in several 2009 and 2010 jetta/golf, but in a limited VIN range. They refuse to acknowledge the problem in this 2010 gold is the fault of the faulty ABS control module found in other 2010 golf cars and refuse to honor recall or to log problem.
