DTC C1247





Circuit Description
The brake fluid level switch monitors the level of brake fluid in the master cylinder. When the IPC sees the brake fluid level switch input grounded, it turns ON the red Brake indicator and sends a serial data message to the EBCM that tells the EBCM that the brake fluid level is low.

Conditions for Running the DTC
The ignition is ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
The EBCM receives a serial data message from the IPC indicating that the brake fluid level is low.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
^ The EBCM disables the TCS (w/NW9) for the duration of the ignition cycle.
^ The red Brake warning indicator turns ON.
^ The Traction Off indicator turns ON.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC
^ The condition for the DTC is no longer present and you used the scan tool Clear DTC function.
^ The EBCM automatically clears the history DTC when a current DTC is not detected in 100 consecutive drive cycles.

Diagnostic Aids
Inspect the master cylinder reservoir for the proper brake fluid level.
