Re: ABS code C1206 Reply #1 – April 16, 2023, 12:38:22 am Hi NSC; my first question would be when was the last time the brake fluid was replaced by new fluid. I think that enough water has seeped into the front caliper fluid, to cause it to boil, whick extended the piston. Other than that I don’t know enough about the codes. The internet doesn't reveal much about that trouble code. Likely a professional will be needed to diagnose and fix the trouble. RonB
Re: ABS code C1206 Reply #2 – April 16, 2023, 12:48:43 pm If you don't have luck with brake fluid issue or related issues you might want to check for rodent incursion. Our Ford C-Max had a ABS code for the rear wheel speed sensor. As we investigated further it was a rodent who chewed the wires in the ABS wire harness near a nest it had built since that car had sit for a few weeks while we were out of town. We were lucky that it was only one outer wire that had been chewed through. Karen~Liam 98 ~ MB NinA

You may get lucky and find the needed parts on eBay. A deep Google search may turn up more information on your problem. It's tough to keep antique rigs on the roads. A smoking hot caliper is stuck, it needs replacement. I would change both front calipers and check the condition of the rotors, good chance the stuck side is torn up and needs replacement. Rotors are normally changed in pairs to keep braking even from side to side.I like the complete brake sets sold by Powerstop, available on Rock Auto.Larry
