Circuit/System Description

The electronic brake control module (EBCM) uses input from the regenerative axle pressure sensor for more accurate control during a brake and vehicle stability enhancement system (VSES) event. The regenerative axle pressure sensor is internal to the brake pressure modulator valve assembly.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* Ignition ON.
* Ignition voltage is greater than 10 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

C128F, C12F7, C121A, C012C 11 or C128C

Internal sensor failure is detected.

C012C 01 or C12BA

A short to battery is detected on the sensor signal circuit.

C012C 06 or C12B9

A short to ground or open is detected signal circuit.

C012C 0F or C12BB

Signal is erratic and changes faster than physically allowed.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

A DIC message and/or a warning indicator may be displayed.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* The condition for setting 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

1. Using a scan tool, perform the EBCM, Module Setup, EBCM Relearn.
2. Verify that DTC C012C, C121A, C128C, C128F, C12B9, C12BA, C12BB or C12F7 is not set.

If the DTC is set replace brake pressure modulator valve assembly. If the DTC resets, replace the EBCM.

Repair Instructions
