Diagnostic Fault Information





Circuit/System Description

The solenoid relay, located within the electronic brake control module (EBCM), supplies battery voltage to all of the valve solenoids.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* Ignition voltage is greater than 9.5 volts.
* The solenoid relay is commanded ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

* The EBCM detects an open in the battery positive voltage circuit to the solenoid valve relay.
* The EBCM detects a stuck open solenoid valve relay or an open circuit between the solenoid valve relay and solenoid valves.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* The EBCM disables the Antilock Brake System (ABS)/Traction Control System (TCS)/dynamic rear proportion (DRP)/Vehicle Stability Enhancement System (VSES) for the duration of the ignition cycle.
* The ABS indicator illuminates.
* The Traction Control indicator illuminates.
* The red Brake Warning indicator turns ON.
* The driver information center (DIC) displays the SERVICE ABS/TRACTION and the PANIC BRAKE ASSIST message.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* The condition for setting the DTC is no longer present and the DTC is cleared with a scan tool.
* The EBCM clears the history DTC when a current DTC is not detected in 100 consecutive drive cycles.

Circuit Verification

Ignition ON, observe the scan tool EBCM Battery Voltage Signal parameter. The reading should be battery voltage.

If not within the specified range, refer to Circuit/System Testing.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the EBCM.
2. Test for less than 1 ohm between the ground circuits listed below and ground.

* Terminal 1
* Terminal 25

• If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuits for an open/high resistance.

3. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuits listed below and ground.

* Terminal 13
* Terminal 38

• If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuits for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.

4. If all circuits test normal, replace the EBCM.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification (Verification Tests) after completing the diagnostic procedure.
