C0641: Brake Pressure Sensor K Circuit/Open

Open circuit on brake pressure sensor K.

High severity. Can I keep driving?The regular brakes usually keep working, but without ABS or the driver aids. Drive very carefully and go to a repair shop; if the pedal feel changes, do not keep driving.

The ABS and stability control module monitors the wheel sensors, the pump, and the solenoid valves. If it detects a fault, it may turn off these driver aids.
