Circuit Description

The solenoid valve coil circuits are supplied with power from the battery when the valve relay is energized. Switched ground is provided by the electronic brake control module (EBCM) to each coil.

This procedure checks whether the left front inlet and outlet valves are functioning.

DTC Descriptors

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTCs:

    • DTC C0060 Left Front Dump Solenoid Circuit Open
    • DTC C0065 Left Front Hold Valve Circuit Open

Conditions for Running the DTC
    • Vehicle speed is greater than 6 km/h (4 mph) with the brake pedal not applied
        or
    • Vehicle speed is greater than 15 km/h (9 mph) and the brake pedal is actuated.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
    • A valve has failed.
    • A solenoid coil is open or shorted.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The antilock brake system (ABS) is disabled, and the ABS warning lamp is turned ON for the remainder of the ignition cycle. The electronic brake force distribution (EBD) is disabled. If the failure is intermittent, the EBCM will enable the system at the next ignition cycle and set a history DTC.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists and the scan tool Clear DTCs function is used.
