C1611 on Genesis
ABS Control Module Internal Fault
C1611 on Genesis vehicles indicates abs control module internal fault. Au7o has documented this code across 1 Genesis model — most commonly on G70. C1611 is a brake-system code indicating an internal fault within the ABS control module itself — the unit ran its self-checks and found that one of its internal electronics or processors isn't working correctly. Because the fault is inside the module's own hardware/firmware, it's usually not something you can fix by replacing an external sensor. The module typically disables ABS, traction control, and stability control when this is stored, while normal hydraulic braking remains. It generally points to a failing or failed ABS/EBCM unit, though power, ground, and software issues should be ruled out first.
Common Causes of C1611
- •Failed ABS/EBCM control module (internal electronics)
- •Low or unstable supply voltage to the module
- •Poor power or ground connections at the module
- •Corrosion or moisture intrusion in the module connector
- •Outdated or corrupted module software requiring reflash
- •Internal solenoid or pump driver failure within the unit

- ABS Module Electrical Short Causing Engine-Bay Fire Risk (Recall 21V-161 / 007G)2019-2021
An electrical short circuit can develop inside the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) hydraulic control module. Because the module is always powered, the short can cause an engine-compartment fire whether the vehicle is parked or being driven, even with the ignition off. Genesis recalled certain 2019-2021 G70 vehicles under NHTSA campaign 21V-161 (Genesis recall 007G); owners were told to park the car outside and away from structures until repaired. This is part of the broader Hyundai/Genesis ABS-fire recall family. The remedy installs a fuse in the ABS module wiring to prevent the short from igniting a fire.

What does C1611 mean on Genesis?▼
C1611 stands for "ABS Control Module Internal Fault." C1611 is a brake-system code indicating an internal fault within the ABS control module itself — the unit ran its self-checks and found that one of its internal electronics or processors isn't working correctly. Because the fault is inside the module's own hardware/firmware, it's usually not something you can fix by replacing an external sensor. The module typically disables ABS, traction control, and stability control when this is stored, while normal hydraulic braking remains. It generally points to a failing or failed ABS/EBCM unit, though power, ground, and software issues should be ruled out first. On Genesis specifically, this code is documented across 1 model.
What causes C1611 on Genesis vehicles?▼
Common causes on Genesis: Failed ABS/EBCM control module (internal electronics), Low or unstable supply voltage to the module, Poor power or ground connections at the module, Corrosion or moisture intrusion in the module connector, Outdated or corrupted module software requiring reflash. Specific causes vary by model and year — see the per-model sections below.
How much does it cost to fix C1611 on a Genesis?▼
