P0858 Severity
Once the vehicle's onboard system no longer detects the issue, most codes will disappear on their own. If your vehicle still has this code, however, it should be properly diagnosed to avoid a more serious problem.
For a proper diagnosis, RepairPal Certified shops have the equipment, tools, and expertise.
Moderate severity codes might not threaten the vehicle's safety or functionality immediately, but you should still get it diagnosed within a reasonable time frame to keep your car running well.
The engine computer (PCM) and the Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) constantly talk to each other. When the vehicle is braking, the EBCM will tell the PCM to reduce the amount of power coming out of the engine. If the two modules fail to communicate, code P0858 is stored and the traction control system is disabled.
