DTC Descriptor

DTC C0110: Pump Motor Circuit

Circuit/System Description

When the electronic brake control module (EBCM) grounds the pump motor relay, it closes and provides battery voltage to the pump motor if the valve relay is closed. The EBCM senses the voltage applied to the pump motor to verify motor operation.

This DTC sets when the EBCM detects B+ without motor relay activation or if the EBCM does not detect B+ after motor relay activation.

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
    • There is a faulty terminal in the pump motor connector.
    • There is a faulty terminal in the EBCM connector.
    • There is a problem in the antilock brake system (ABS) wiring harness.
    • There is high resistance in the chassis ground.
    • The EBCM is defective.
    • There is a problem in the wiring from the pump motor connector to the motor.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
    • The antilock brake system (ABS) is disabled.
    • The ABS warning indicator turns ON.
    • 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.

Circuit Verification

Ignition ON, perform the Pump Motor Test with a scan tool and listen/feel the Pump Motor turn ON and OFF.

Circuit/System Testing
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the EBCM.
  2. Test for less than 1 ohm between the ground circuit and ground.
    3. ⇒If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BPMV.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
