Q: What usually causes code C0664?

Faulty, aged or drifting sensor. The most likely causes come first. Only a check on the car confirms which one is yours.

Q: What are the symptoms of code C0664?

ABS, ESP or brake warning lights on. ABS and stability control switched off; normal braking usually still works. On some cars, the speedometer or driver aids failing. These are the usual symptoms of this kind of fault: not all of them always appear, and sometimes you notice nothing.

Can I keep driving with code C0664?

Better not, except when you really have to. This fault may affect safety or damage the engine, the catalytic converter or the brakes. See a workshop as soon as possible; if you must move the car, drive gently and only short distances. If the light flashes, the car loses power, makes unusual noises or the brakes or steering feel different, stop somewhere safe and call for assistance.

This is guidance only: only someone who checks the car can say whether it is safe to drive.

What you can do yourself

For this kind of fault

Keep a longer distance and avoid hard braking: without ABS the wheels can lock. If the red brake light comes on or the pedal feels different, stop and call for assistance.

Read the code and keep the report: with an ECO-LITE in the OBD socket you see it on your phone or computer, with the data captured when the fault happened.
Look for anything obvious: a loose connector, a disconnected hose, a fuel cap not closed properly or a low fluid level. Do not take apart anything you do not know.
Clear the code only after writing it down or after the repair. Clearing turns the light off, but it also deletes the freeze-frame data and the readiness monitors used at the inspection.
Drive normally for a few days and read the codes again. If the code comes back, the fault is still there: book the workshop and bring the report.

Read your car's fault codes on your phone

With an ECO-LITE in the OBD socket you see the codes in your account, with the data captured when the fault happened, and your workshop can check them remotely, always with your permission.
