Can I drive with C0244?

Yes, but drive carefully and get it checked soon. Traction control cannot communicate with engine computer to manage wheel spin.

What does C0244 mean?

C0244 stands for Engine Torque Delivered Signal Malfunction.

Symptoms you may notice

• ABS, Traction Control, and StabiliTrak warning lights illuminated
• Anti-lock pulse disabled during wet or panic stops (normal brakes work)
• Cruise control disabled by brake safety interlock

How much does it cost to fix?

Repair costs for code C0244 depend on the specific underlying root cause, ranging from simple DIY checks to component replacement. The table below lists the most common causes and rough price ranges in USD:

• CAN bus communication glitch between ECM and ABS module
  $50-$150 common
• Check engine light active in engine computer (ECM)
  $50-$200 common
• Faulty throttle position or MAF sensor signal
  $60-$180 possible
• Defective ABS electronic control module
  $300-$800 rare

What to do next

1. Scan engine computer for active P-codes first (fixing engine codes often clears this automatically).
2. Check CAN communication bus lines between engine and ABS modules.
3. Clear chassis trouble codes.

About this code

Code C0244 occurs when the stability control module cannot calculate engine torque delivery. When the engine computer sets almost any powertrain fault (like P0171 or P0300), it disables torque management, which immediately sets C0244 in the brake module. Fix engine codes first.
