Circuit Description

The yaw rate sensor reference voltage is monitored for an over or under voltage condition.

DTC Descriptor

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:

DTC C0875 Device Voltage Reference Input 2 Circuit

Conditions for Running the DTC
    • The ignition is ON.
    • The vehicle speed is greater than 40 km/h (25 mph).

Conditions for Setting the DTC

A malfunction is detected if the supply voltage is above 2.9 volts or below 2.1 volts for more than 200 milliseconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
    • A malfunction DTC is set.
    • The traction control system (TCS) and vehicle stability enhancement system (VSES) are disabled.
    • Stability Off, and SERVICE VEHICLE SOON lamp indicators are ON.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC
    • The condition for the DTC is no longer present.
    • A history DTC will clear after 100 consecutive ignition cycles if the condition for the malfunction is no longer present.
    • Using a scan tool
    • The electronic brake control module (EBCM) automatically clears the history DTC when a current DTC is not detected in 100 consecutive drive cycles.

Diagnostic Aids

Possible causes of this DTC are the following conditions:

    • An open in the yaw rate sensor supply voltage circuit
    • A short to ground in the yaw rate sensor supply voltage circuit
    • A short to B+ in the yaw rate sensor supply voltage circuit

Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. This step tests for specified voltage on the 5-volt reference signal circuit.

    2.

  2. This step checks to see if voltage was below specified voltage.

    3.

  3. This step checks to see if voltage was above specified voltage.

    4.

  4. This step tests for a short to ground in the 5-volt reference circuit of the yaw/lateral accelerometer sensor.

    5.

  5. This step tests for a short to voltage in the 5-volt reference circuit of the yaw/lateral accelerometer sensor.

    6.

  6. This step tests for a high resistance or an open in the ground circuit of the yaw/lateral accelerometer sensor.

    7.

  7. This step checks the yaw/lateral accelerometer sensor connector for poor connections.

    8.

  8. This step checks the EBCM connector for poor connections.
