Circuit/System Description

The valve relay is located within the electronic brake control module and supplies battery voltage to all of the solenoid valves when commanded On. The solenoid valves are integral parts of the brake pressure modulator. The brake pressure modulator contains an isolation solenoid valve and a dump solenoid valve for each wheel. It also contains a traction/stability control prime solenoid valve and isolation solenoid valve for each brake circuit. The solenoid valves are not engaged during normal system operation. When the ABS, the traction/stability operation is required the electronic brake control module turns the required solenoid valves ON or OFF.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* The valve relay is commanded ON.

* The ignition voltage is greater than 10 V.

* Ignition ON begins the initialization of the brake system power-up self test.

* Drive the vehicle at speeds greater than 16 km/h (10 MPH) to complete the active brake system test.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

* The electronic brake control module detects a valve or solenoid malfunction.

* The electronic brake control module detects an open in the B+ circuit to the valve relay.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* The ABS Indicator turns ON.

* The traction/stability control indicator turns ON.

* The electronic brake control module disables the ABS, and the traction/stability for the duration of the ignition cycle.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* When the condition for setting the DTC is no longer present.

* The history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive fault-free ignition cycles have occurred.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition ON.

2. Verify that DTC C0060, C0065, C0070, C0075, C0080, C0085, C0090, C0095, C0121, C0141, C0146, C0151, or C0156 is not set.

If any of the DTCs are set
Replace the K17 Electronic Brake Control Module with the Brake Pressure Modulator.

If none of the DTCs are set

3. All OK.
