Circuit/System Description
The electronic brake control module (EBCM) uses input from the boost pressure sensor for more accurate control during brake and vehicle stability enhancement system (VSES) event. The boost pressure sensor is internal to the brake pressure modulator valve (BPMV).
Conditions for Running the DTC
* Ignition ON.
* The ignition voltage is greater than 10 V.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
C012D 00, C128D, C012D 11 or C128A
Internal sensor failure is detected.
C012D 01 or C12BD
A short to battery is detected on the sensor signal circuit.
C012D 06 or C12BC
A short to ground or open is detected signal circuit.
C012D 5A or C120A
The boost pressure being commanded is not being achieved.
C012D OF or C12BE
Signal is erratic and changes faster than physically allowed.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* The EBCM disables the ABS and vehicle stability enhancement system (VSES) for the duration of the ignition cycle.
* A DIC message and/or a warning indicator may be displayed.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
* The condition for setting the DTC is no longer present.
* The EBCM clears the history DTC when a current DTC is not detected in 40 consecutive drive cycles.

Circuit/System Verification
Perform Brake Pedal Travel Measurement and Inspection (Non-Hybrid) Brake Pedal Travel Measurement and InspectionBrake Pedal Travel Measurement and Inspection (Two-mode Hybrid) Brake Pedal Travel Measurement and Inspection
Circuit/System Testing
1. Verify that no other DTCs are set.
• If DTC is set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle.
2. Using a scan tool, perform the EBCM, module setup, and EBCM Relearn.
3. Verify that DTC C012D, C120A, C128A, C128D, C12BC, C12BD, or C12BE is not set.
• If DTC is set replace brake pressure modulator valve (BPMV) assembly. If the DTC resets, replace the EBCM.
