DTC Descriptor
DTC P1B12
- Driver Intended Brake Torque Fault

Circuit/System Description

The electronic brake control module (EBCM) monitors the brake pedal position sensor in order to provide emission related brake pedal position information to the engine control module (ECM). The EBCM sends the information, via the serial data circuit, to the ECM in a continuously repeating series of 16 rolling counts, with each count assigned a value. When the ECM determines that too many of the counts have an incorrect value, the ECM sets DTC P1B12.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* The propulsion system is active.
* DTC P1B12 runs continuously when the above condition is met.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The ECM detects that 10 of the 16 rolling counts have an incorrect value.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DTC P1B12 is a Type C DTC.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTC P1B12 is a Type C DTC.
