01130 is an OBD-II diagnostic trouble code meaning “ABS Operation: Implausible Signal.” This is a VAG (Volkswagen/Audi/Seat/Skoda) fault code logged by the ABS/Brake Electronics Control Module (J104). It indicates the ABS control unit received an implausible or inconsistent operation signal and can no longer trust its data, so it disables ABS function. It typically shows as a steady ABS warning light (often with the traction-control light) and, per Ross-Tech, can only be cleared after a test drive above 20 km/h (13 mph). This code is most commonly reported on 2004-2013 Skoda Octavia, with repair costs ranging from $200 to $800.
