Circuit Description
The electronic brake control module (EBCM) controls the operation of the amber ABS warning lamp by means of a lamp driver module contained within the cluster.
Battery voltage is supplied to the instrument panel (I/P) cluster terminal B14, and the electronic brake control module terminal 4 when the ignition switch is turned ON. EBCM terminals 9 and 25 are hot at all times.
The default state is for the lamp driver module to turn ON the amber ABS warning lamp, by supplying a ground path through the lamp driver module.
When the EBCM commands the ABS lamp OFF, the EBCM will ground the ABS warning lamp control circuit. This causes the lamp driver module to open the path to ground for the bulb.
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the EBCM turns ON the ABS warning lamp for 3 seconds for a bulb check.
Whenever a malfunction is detected within the ABS system, the EBCM turn ON the ABS warning lamp, notifying the driver that the ABS needs to be serviced.
Diagnostic Aids
Typical causes of the ABS warning lamp inoperative with no DTCs set.
| • | Faulty ABS bulb/loose socket |
| • | I/P fuse open |
| • | Faulty cluster/lamp driver module |
| • | Faulty EBCM |
| • | Grounded circuit between the EBCM and the cluster |
