Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
When the traction control switch is pressed twice the performance traction mode is available based on driver selection and skill. One of the five track modes will integrate multiple calibrations in the powertrain and chassis electronics controlling the engine speed while modulating engine torque for maximum acceleration once the vehicle is moving. The sport mode switch has a normal resting position and two momentary TOUR and SPORT switch positions. When the sport mode switch is in the resting position, a signal of approximately 665 ohms is received by the electronic brake control module (EBCM). When the switch is momentarily placed in the SPORT position, a signal of approximately 1430 ohms is received by the EBCM.
When the switch is momentarily placed in the TOUR position, a signal of approximately 4530 ohms is received by the EBCM. The EBCM then sends a serial data message to the engine control module and the electronic suspension control module to modify the shock damper rates which will change the ride and handling characteristics of the vehicle.
Conditions for Running the DTC
* Ignition ON.
* The electronic brake control module is in normal operating mode.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
B274A 03
The electronic brake control module detects 1.34 V or less on the switch signal circuit.
B274A 07
The electronic brake control module detects 4.55 V or greater on the switch signal circuit.
B274A 59
If the switch signal is active for greater than 30 seconds, the switch will be considered stuck and the electronic brake control module will set this DTC.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* If entering the performance traction mode, the electronic brake control module will default to mode 2.
* If exiting the performance traction mode, the electronic brake control module will default to the last known state.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
* A current DTC will clear on the next consecutive malfunction-free ignition cycle.
* The history DTC will clear after 50 consecutive fault-free ignition cycles have occurred.

Circuit/System Verification
1. Ignition ON.
2. Verify the scan tool Electronic Brake Control Module Sport Mode Switch parameter change states while switching between SPORT and TOUR modes.
• If the parameter does not change
Refer to Circuit/System Testing.
• If the parameter changes
3. All OK.
Circuit/System Testing
1. Ignition OFF and all vehicle system OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S109 Sport mode switch. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down.
2. Test for less than 10 ohms between the switch harness connector ground terminal 2 and ground.
• If 10 ohms or greater
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K17 Electronic brake control module.
2. Test for less than 2 ohms in the ground circuit end to end.
• If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
• If less than 2 ohms, repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection.
• If less than 10 ohms
3. Ignition ON.
4. Verify the scan tool Sport Mode Switch parameter is Inactive.
• If not Inactive
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K17 Electronic brake control module.
2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminal 4 and ground.
• If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
• If infinite resistance, replace the K17 Electronic brake control module.
• If Inactive
5. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 4 and ground.
6. Verify the scan tool Sport Mode Switch parameter is Active.
• If not Active
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K17 Electronic brake control module, ignition ON.
2. Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit and ground.
• If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
• If less than 1 V
3. Test or replace the S109 Sport mode switch.
• If Active
7. Test or replace the S109 Sport mode switch.
Component Testing
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S109 Sport mode switch.
2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal terminal 4 and the ground terminal 2 with the switch in the open position.
• If less than infinite resistance
Replace the S109 Sport mode switch.
• If infinite resistance
3. All OK
