DTC Descriptor

DTC C1100 00

-
Base Brake System Pressure Circuit

Diagnostic Fault Information






Circuit/System Description

The electronic brake control module (EBCM) provides a 5-volt reference to the brake booster vacuum sensor. The brake booster vacuum sensor converts the change in vacuum levels in the brake booster into a signal voltage ranging from 0.13-3.30 volts and is monitored by EBCM.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The brake booster sensor signal voltage is not within 0.13-3.30 volts for more than 1 second.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* The condition for the DTC is no longer present.

* The EBCM clears the history DTC when a current DTC is not detected in 100 consecutive drive cycles.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the brake booster vacuum sensor.

2. Wait for 60 seconds, test for less than 11 ohms between the low reference circuit terminal 2 and ground.

If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.

3. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 V between the 5 V reference circuit terminal 3 and ground.

If less than the specified range, test the 5 V reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the replace the EBCM.

If greater than the specified range, test the 5 V reference circuit for a short to B+. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.

4. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 V between the 5 V reference circuit terminal 3 and the signal circuit terminal 1.

If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.

If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to B+. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.

5. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the EBCM.

6. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminal 1 and ground.

If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground.

7. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the brake booster vacuum sensor.
