Diagnostic Instructions

* Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure. Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle
* Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
* Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

DTC Descriptor

DTC C0899
- Device Voltage Low

Circuit/System Description

The electronic brake control module (EBCM) monitors the ignition voltage level available for system operation. A low voltage condition prevents the system from operating properly.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition is ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

This fault will be set if the ignition voltage to EBCM is less than 9 volts for 100 msec.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* Traction Control System (TCS) and Vehicle Stability Enhancement System (VSES) for the duration of the ignition cycle.
* The TCS indicator turns ON.
* The driver information center (DIC) displays the Service Stability System message.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* The condition for the DTC is no longer present.
* The EBCM automatically clears the history DTC when a current DTC is not detected in 100 consecutive drive cycles.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Measure and record the voltage at the battery terminals. With scan tool, observe the battery voltage signal parameter. Verify that battery terminal voltage and battery voltage signal readings do not differ more than 1 volt.

If more than 1 volt, test the battery positive voltage and ground circuits of the EBCM for an open/high resistance or replace the EBCM.

2. Refer to Charging System Test. Component Tests and General Diagnostics

Repair Instructions

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

Refer to Programing and Relearning for EBCM replacement, setup and programming.
