There is little data for this code or its meaning is ambiguous, so this page is not indexed.

What the code means

This is a manufacturer-specific code: the meaning depends on the make and sometimes on the year.

How to read C1310: the letter C means chassis (brakes, ABS, steering, suspension); the second digit 1 marks a manufacturer code whose meaning is set by the make; the last three characters 310 identify the specific fault.

ABS/ESC codes: wheel speed sensors, the ABS hydraulic unit and pump, brake booster, pressure and yaw sensors. A hit to a wheel or suspension often damages the wheel speed sensor or its wiring, so on a damaged car this code is a reason to inspect the hub, knuckle and control arms, not just swap the sensor.

What to do if an auction car has this code

Check whether the ABS and ESC lights stay on after start-up.
After replacing sensors or the hydraulic unit, bleeding and scan tool adaptation may be required.

Vehicle would not accelerate past 40 mph. Diagnostic codes C1223, C1247, C1310 came back. Checking the internet, this is a common issue with this vehicle and a recall should be issued.

When I turn the car off & back on it seems to clear up the issue. Took it in and was given the codes C1223 (fault in abs system), C1247, C1310, was then referred to a dealer. Did some research online & saw I am not alone so wanted to report it.
