C0288

DTC C0288 or C088





Test 1-5





Test 6-10

Circuit Description
The EBCM supplies a reference voltage of 5 volts to the yaw rate sensor/lateral accelerometer and the master cylinder pressure sensor. The sensor supply voltage is monitored via an internal feedback circuit to the EBCM microprocessor.

Conditions for Running the DTC
The ignition is ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
The EBCM detects that the sensor supply voltage is less than 4.75 volts or greater than 5.25 volts for 200 milliseconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
^ The EBCM disables the VSES.
^ The EBCM discontinues the output of the 5-volt reference signal to the external sensors.
^ The message center displays the SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM message.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC
The conditions for setting the DTC are no longer present and you use the scan tool Clear DTCs function.

Diagnostic Aids
Thoroughly inspect connections or circuitry that may cause an intermittent malfunction.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
3. This step tests for a shorted master cylinder pressure sensor.
4. This step tests for a shorted yaw rate sensor/lateral accelerometer.
