Circuit Description
The solenoid valve relay is energized when the ignition is ON. The solenoid valve relay supplies voltage to the solenoid valves. This voltage is referred to as the solenoid power voltage. The EBCM controls the solenoid valve by grounding the control circuit.

Condition for Running the DTC
- The ignition voltage is greater than 10.5 volts.
- The relay is commanded ON.

Condition for Setting the DTC
The relay voltage is less than 8 volts.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
If equipped, the following actions occur:
- The EBCM disables the ABS/TCS/VSES for the duration of the ignition cycle.
- The ABS indicator turns ON.
- The TRACTION CONTROL indicator turns ON.
- The DIC displays the SERVICE STABILITY SYS message.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC
- The condition for the DTC is no longer present (the DTC is not current) and you used the scan tool Clear DTC function.
- The condition for the DTC is no longer present (the DTC is not current) and you used the On-Board Diagnostics Clear DTC function.
- The EBCM automatically clears the history DTC when a current DTC is not detected in 50 consecutive drive cycles.

Diagnostic Aids
The relays are integral to the EBCM. The relays are not serviceable.
