Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The yaw rate, lateral acceleration and longitudinal acceleration sensors are combined into one multi-axis acceleration sensor module, external to the electronic brake control module. The electronic brake control module supplies ignition voltage to the multi-axis acceleration sensor module. The multi-axis acceleration sensor module communicates with the electronic brake control module via serial data. The electronic brake control module activates the stability control function depending on multi-axis acceleration sensor module input.
Conditions for Running the DTC
Ignition ON.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
C0186 00 or C018B 5A
The lateral acceleration sensor signal is out specified range.
C0186 4B
The lateral acceleration sensor is not calibrated.
C0186 5A
The lateral acceleration sensor signal is not plausible with the yaw rate sensor signal, steering angle sensor signal and vehicle speed.
C0186 71
The lateral acceleration sensor signal offset is out of the specified range.
C0196 00 or C019B 5A
The yaw rate sensor signal is out of the specified range.
C0196 5A
The yaw rate sensor signal is not plausible with the lateral acceleration sensor signal, steering angle sensor signal and vehicle speed.
C0196 71
The yaw rate sensor offset is out of the specified range.
C0287 4B
The longitudinal acceleration sensor is not calibrated.
C0287 5A
The longitudinal acceleration sensor signal is not plausible with the vehicle speed.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* The electronic brake control module disables the stability control for the duration of the ignition cycle.
* The traction control/stability control-active indicator turns ON.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
* A current DTC clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.
* The electronic brake control module will turn off the indicator in the next ignition cycle.

Circuit/System Testing
1. Ignition ON.
2. Verify DTC C0186 4B or C0287 4B is not set.
• If either DTC is set
Perform the Vehicle Yaw Sensor Learn Testing and Inspection.
• If either DTC is not set
3. Verify the B119 multi-axis acceleration sensor is installed correctly.
• If loose or incorrect installation
Correct the installation of the component.
• If installed correctly
4. Ignition OFF, all vehicle systems OFF, and scan tool disconnected, disconnect the harness connector at the B119 multi-axis acceleration sensor. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down.
5. Test for less than 10 ohm between the ground circuit terminal 6 and ground.
• If 10 ohm or greater
1. Ignition OFF.
2. Test for less than 2 ohm in the ground circuit end to end.
• If 2 ohm or greater, repair the open/high resistance tin the circuit.
• If less than 2 ohm, repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection.
• If less than 10 ohm
6. Ignition ON.
7. Verify a test lamp illuminates between the ignition circuit terminal 5 and ground.
• If the test lamp does not illuminate
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K17 electronic brake control module.
2. Test for infinite resistance between the ignition circuit and ground.
• If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
• If infinite resistance.
3. Test for less than 2 ohm in the ignition circuit end to end.
• If 2 ohm or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
• If less than 2 ohm, replace the K17 electronic brake control module.
• If the test lamp illuminates
8. Replace the B119 multi-axis acceleration sensor.
9. Verify the DTC does not set while operating the vehicle under the Conditions for Running the DTC.
• If the DTC sets
Replace the K17 electronic brake control module.
• If the DTC does not set
10. All OK.
