Circuit Description
The EBCM initializes a self-test when the ignition is turned to the RUN position. This internal self-test verifies that all ABS circuitry is operating correctly.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | Ignition switch in the RUN position. |
| • | Bulb check complete. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
Any condition within the EBCM which causes a memory error will set the DTC.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The ABS indicator lamp is turned on |
| • | The ABS is disabled |
Malfunction responses to DTC C0271-C0273 and C0284 vary, depending on the affected subsystem.
| • | ABS--Permanent latched (except for C0273 which is ignition latched) |
| • | DRP--DRP critical |
For a detailed explanation of DTC malfunction responses, refer to Self-Diagnostics .
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | Repair the conditions responsible for setting the DTC. |
| • | Use the Clear DTCs function on the Scan Tool |
Diagnostic Aids
DTCs C0271-C0273 are EBCM internal diagnosis trouble codes. Replace the EBCM if these tests show that the EBCM circuitry has failed. Refer to Electronic Brake Control Module Replacement .
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the steps in the diagnostic table:
Step | Action | Value(s) | Yes | No |
|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Did you perform the ABS Diagnostic System Check? | -- | Go to Step 2 | Go to Diagnostic System Check |
Did vehicle operation cause this DTC to set? | -- | Go to Step 4 | Go to Step 3 | |
3 | Malfunction is intermittent. Inspect all connectors and harnesses for damage which may result in high resistance when all components are connected. Refer to diagnostic aids for more information. Did you find and repair the condition? | -- | Go to Step 5 | Go to Step 4 |
4 | Replace the EBCM. Refer to Electronic Brake Control Module Replacement . Did you complete the replacement? | -- | Go to Step 5 | -- |
5 | Operate the vehicle under the conditions for running the DTC as specified in the supporting text. Does the DTC set? | -- | Go to Step 2 | System OK |
