DTC C1286:










CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
This DTC is provided as an information only DTC and reflects the status of the command issued by the EBCM/EBTCM to illuminate the red BRAKE warning indicator. If another DTC issues a command to illuminate the red BRAKE warning indicator, DTC C1286 will be stored in EEPROM as a history DTC at the conclusion of the ignition cycle.

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING DTC
Condition for DTC is no longer present and the scan tool (CLEAR DTCs) function is used, or 100 drive cycles have passed with no DTC(s) detected.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
Any ABS mechanical DTC that issues a command to illuminate the red BRAKE warning indicator will also result in DTC C1286 being stored in EEPROM during shutdown. These mechanical DTCs are: C1238, C1241, C1242, C1246, and C1251. If the motors are not in their home position, certain electrical DTCs will also command the red BRAKE warning indicator on. These electrical DTCs are: C1214, C1216, C1218, C1255, C1256, C1257, C1258, C1261, C1262, C1263, C1264, C1265, and C1266.
