C0268

DTC C0267 or C0268





Circuit Description
The EBCM applies the ground needed for pump motor activation. The low side of the pump motor has a feedback circuit to the EBCM. When the pump motor is commanded OFF and at rest, feedback voltage is high. When the pump motor is winding down after being commanded ON and then OFF, feedback voltage is low. The EBCM monitors this feedback voltage in order to determine if the motor is functioning properly.

Conditions for Running the DTC
^ The ignition is ON.
^ The vehicle speed is greater than 6 km/h (4 mph).

Conditions for Setting the DTC
The EBCM detects any of the following conditions:
^ An open or shorted pump motor
^ An open or shorted pump motor driver circuit
^ A seized pump motor

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
^ The EBCM disables the ABS.
^ The ABS indicator turns ON.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC
The conditions for setting the DTC are no longer present and you use the scan tool Clear DTCs function.

Diagnostic Aids
Thoroughly inspect connections or circuitry that may cause an intermittent malfunction. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
3. This step tests if the EBCM is capable of activating the ABS pump motor. DTC C0268 may set during this test even if the EBCM is functioning properly.
4. A shorted ABS pump motor may damage the EBCM. It is imperative that the steps in the table be followed in order to prevent damage to a replacement EBCM.
