DTC C0220-C0229 (W/JL4)

Circuit Description
During an ABS event, the electronic brake control module (EBCM) calculates the total time that a dump valve is energized while attempting to unlock a locked wheel.

Conditions for Running the DTC
^ The ignition is ON.
^ The vehicle is experiencing an ABS event.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
C0220
The total dump valve ON time for the left front brake circuit has exceeded 9 seconds and the EBCM has not received a wheel speed signal from the left front wheel during this activity.

C0221
The total dump valve ON time for the right front brake circuit has exceeded 9 seconds and the EBCM has not received a wheel speed signal from the right front wheel during this activity.

C0228
The total dump valve ON time for the left rear brake circuit has exceeded 9 seconds and the EBCM has not received a wheel speed signal from the left rear wheel during this activity.

C0229
The total dump valve ON time for the right rear brake circuit has exceeded 9 seconds and the EBCM has not received a wheel speed signal from the right rear wheel during this activity.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
^ The EBCM disables the ABS/DRP.
^ The ABS indicator turns ON.
^ The brake warning indicator turns ON.

The actions above are maintained during subsequent ignition cycles until the EBCM completes a power up self-test. This test concludes when the vehicle achieves a speed greater than 13 km/h (8 mph) and the wheel speeds are verified by the EBCM.

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
The most likely cause of this DTC is a mechanical failure that causes a wheel to lock and remain locked. The DTC may also set, conceivably, when the ABS is activated on surfaces that are nearly impossible to get traction on. If the DTC sets within these conditions, diagnosis of the ABS system is not necessary.
