work done prior = added refrigerant to a/c
work done to repair = scanned for codes got c1245 right front
motor not working
tech = jk
question = what does code c1245 mean.
Is a short because i wiggled wires while recharging a/c or is it a bad
front sensor
or a bad motor.
What should i do next ?
Thanks

Hello and welcome. It is possible that you damaged a wire while doing the a/c recharge. I know
those fittings are tough to get to and there are several wiring harnesses in the area. A c1245 is
usually a problem in the abs motor pack. The right front motor is not moving. Sometimes the nut
on the motor just becomes loose, and other times the motor pack needs to be replaced. I would
suggest removing the lower cover from the motor pack, and see if one of the 3 gear nuts is
loose. If not, then most likely the motor pack is faulty.

ABS / Anti lock brake warning.
The anti-lock braking system (ABS) uses several sensors, motors, and a computer in conjunction with the normal braking
system.
The ABS regulates the brake pressure in order to reduce wheel lock-ups. Reduced wheel lock-ups improve the driver's
control of the vehicle during braking.
Improved stability and steering enable greater control of the vehicle in the case of an abrupt stop.
The ABS operation is available from 5 km/h (3 mph) to the maximum vehicle speed.
A warning light means a problem was detected, and the system needs to be scanned for codes in order find out the area the
fault is in. With the light on, ABS operation is not present, but normal braking is.
The Traction Control System is controlled by the ABS system.
