DTC Descriptors
DTC C1124 00
- Base Brake Hydraulic Circuit Normally Open Valve
DTC C1125 00
- Hydraulic Circuit Test Duration Excessive
DTC C1126 00
- Base Brake Proportioning Valve Hydraulic Circuit Blocked
Circuit/System Description
The electronic brake control module (EBCM) activates the valve relay to supply voltage to the valve solenoids. This voltage is referred to as the system voltage. The EBCM activates individual valve solenoids by grounding the valve solenoid control circuits.
Conditions for Running the DTC
* Ignition ON, accumulator pressure is less than 9,000 kPa (1,305 psi).
* The ignition voltage is greater than 10 volts.
* The EBCM performs a hydraulic system check every third ignition cycle.
* Brake pedal was depressed.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
C1124 00
This diagnostic determines if the normally open valve has been blocked, closed, or stuck shut. This diagnostic runs while the accumulator is being discharged during the hydraulic shutdown.
C1125 00
This code is an information code only, and requires no diagnostics.
C1126 00
The EBCM is detects that a brake pressure modulator valve is blocked, closed, or stuck shut.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* The EBCM disables the antilock brake system (ABS), traction control and the vehicle stability enhancement system for the duration of the ignition cycle.
* A driver information center message and/or a warning indicator may be displayed.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
* The condition for the DTC is no longer present.
* The EBCM clears the history DTC when a current DTC is not detected in 40 consecutive drive cycles.

Circuit/System Verification
Note: The battery must be able to maintain a charge during this procedure. It is recommended that a charger/maintainer or equivalent be used to maintain proper battery voltage during this procedure.
1. Ignition ON, engine OFF, using a scan tool access the EBCM, Module Setup screen, and perform the EBCM Relearn. The relearn procedure will verify valve and pressure sensor calibrations are correct.
Note: To ensure the complete brake modulator and high pressure accumulator pressure relief procedure is allowed to occur; the brake controller must see one brake pedal apply with the engine running followed by a proper shutdown without applying the brake pedal.
2. Transmission in PARK, engine running, apply and release the brake pedal.
Note: The ignition must transition to the OFF position without pausing at ACCESSORY and without applying the brake pedal. This ensures that the brake modulator and high pressure accumulator relief occurs. This process will take approximately 1-2 minutes.
3. Ignition OFF, key removed from the ignition, wait 2 minutes.
Note: The ignition must remain in the ON position with the engine OFF during the following steps.
4. Ignition ON, brake pedal released, verify the following EBCM scan tool parameters are within the specified range:
* BMC Prim. Piston Pos. Sen. 5 V Reference Position - Between 4.75-5.25 V
* BMC Primary Piston Position Sensor A - Between 0.4-0.8 V
* BMC Primary Piston Position Sensor B - Between 4.2-4.6 V
• If any of the parameters are not within the specified range, refer to DTC C0277, C120C, C129A, C129B, C129D, C129E, C12B1, or C12F8 Antilock Brake System - Hybrid.
5. Brakes not applied, verify the following EBCM scan tool parameters are within the specified range:
* Master Cylinder Pressure Sensor Input - Less than 100 kPa (15 psi)
* Rear Brake Pressure Sensor - Less than 100 kPa (15 psi)
* Brake Pressure Sensor Input - Less than 100 kPa (15 psi)
* Accum. Pressure Sensor - Less than 800 kPa (116 psi)
• If any of the parameters are not within the specified range, replace the brake pressure modulator valve.
6. Perform a hydraulic check, refer to Brake Hydraulic and Assist System Diagnosis (Two-mode Hybrid) Brake Hydraulic and Assist System Diagnosis (Two-mode Hybrid).
7. If the Brake Hydraulic and Assist System tests normal, replace the brake pressure modulator valve and verify DTC does not reset. If the DTC resets, replace the EBCM.
