DTC Descriptor
DTC C056D 00
- Electronic Control Unit Hardware Malfunction

DTC C056D 39
- Electronic Control Unit Hardware Internal Malfunction

DTC C056D 3B
- Electronic Control Unit Hardware Self-Test Malfunction

Circuit/System Description

The internal fault detection is handled inside the control module. No external circuits are involved.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition ON

Conditions for Setting the DTC

In internal hardware failure is detected.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* The electronic brake control module (EBCM) disables the ABS, traction control, and stability control for the duration of the ignition cycle.
* The ABS indicator turns ON.
* The traction control/stability control-active indicator turns ON.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC
