CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When the Electronic Brake Control Module/Electronic Brake Traction Control Module (EBCM/EBTCM) grounds the pump motor relay, the relay closes and provides battery voltage to operate the pump.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
The pump motor relay is commanded off after the motor has been on. A malfunction occurred if the pump motor was on, and the EBCM/EBTCM sensed a stuck or slowly turning pump motor

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
^ A DTC C1243 is stored
^ The ABS/TCS is disabled
^ The ABS and the TRACTION OFF indicators are turned on

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE DTC
^ The condition for the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is no longer present and the scan tool clear DTC function is used
^ 50 ignition cycles have passed with no DTCs detected

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS

^ The following conditions may cause an intermittent malfunction:
- Poor connections
- Broken insulation
- A broken wire inside the insulation
^ If an intermittent malfunction exists, refer to Troubleshooting Procedures.
