C0274

DTC C0274, C0275, or C0280

Diagnostic Instructions

* Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle (Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle) prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
* Review Strategy Based Diagnosis (Strategy Based Diagnosis) for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
* Diagnostic Procedure Instructions (Diagnostic Procedure Instructions) provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

DTC Descriptors
DTC C0274 54
- Isolation Valve High Temperature

DTC C0275 54
- Dump Valve High Temperature

DTC C0280 54
- Stability System Active Too Long High Temperature

Circuit/System Description

The solenoid valves are integral parts of the brake pressure modulator valve assembly. The brake pressure modulator valve assembly contains an isolation solenoid valve and a dump solenoid valve for each wheel and a traction control/stability control supply solenoid valve and isolation solenoid valve for each brake circuit. The solenoid valves are not engaged during normal system operation. When the ABS, traction control or stability control operation is required the electronic brake control module (EBCM) turns the required solenoid valves ON.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition ON

Conditions for Setting the DTC

Calculated solenoid valve temperature is greater than threshold.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

C0274 54 or C0275 54
* The EBCM disables the ABS, traction control, stability control and hill start assist for the duration of the ignition cycle.
* The ABS indicator turns ON.
* The traction control/stability control-active indicator turns ON.

C0280 54
* The EBCM disables the stability control and hill start assist for the duration of the ignition cycle.
* The traction control/stability control-active indicator turns ON.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

The condition for setting the DTC is no longer present.

Diagnostic Aids

DTCs can set because of extended operation of ABS, traction control or stability control.

Circuit/System Verification

Ignition ON, observe the scan tool Inlet, Outlet, Isolation, and Prime Solenoid Valve Feedback parameters. The readings should be Inactive.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition ON, verify that DTC C0187, C0196, C019B, or C0710 is not set as a present DTC.

• If any listed DTC is present, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle (Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle) to diagnose that DTC prior to this diagnostic.

2. Ignition OFF, allow the hydraulic modulator valve assembly to cool down to ambient temperature.
3. Ignition ON, verify that DTC C0274 54, C0275 54, or C0280 54 is not set as a present DTC.

• If any listed DTC is present, replace the K17 Electronic Brake Control Module and verify DTC does not reset. If the DTC resets replace the Q5 brake pressure modulator valve assembly.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification (Verification Tests) after completing the diagnostic procedure.

* Electronic Brake and Traction Control Module with Brake Pressure Modulator Valve Replacement (Electronic Brake and Traction Control Module With Brake Pressure Modulator Valve Replacement)
* Control Module References (Programming and Relearning) for EBCM replacement, programming and setup
