Diagnostic Fault Information






Circuit/System Description

The pump motor is an integral part of the brake pressure modulator valve (BPMV), while the pump motor relay is integral to the electronic brake control module (EBCM). The pump motor relay is not engaged during normal system operation. When the antilock brake system (ABS) or traction control system (TCS) operation is required the EBCM activates the pump motor relay and turns the pump motor ON.

Conditions for Running the DTC

C0110
* Ignition ON.
* Initialization is complete.
* The test is initiated once per ignition cycle, when the vehicle speed is greater than 8 km/h (5 mph), and a fault was set on the last ignition cycle.
* The vehicle speed is greater than 20 km/h (13 mph), and the brake is not applied, OR The vehicle speed is greater than 40 km/h (26 mph),and the brake is applied

Conditions for Setting the DTC

C0110
* The EBCM detects a short to ground or an open/high resistance on the B+ circuit.
* The EBCM detects the pump motor runs continuously.
* The EBCM detects the pump motor is binding or stalled.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* The EBCM disables the ABS/ traction control system (TCS)/ vehicle stability enhancement system (VSES) for the duration of the ignition cycle.
* A DIC 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 50 consecutive drive cycles.

Diagnostic Aids

The pump motor is integral to the BPMV, and the pump motor relay integral to the EBCM.

Circuit Verification

Ignition ON, perform the Pump Motor Test with a scan tool and listen/feel the Pump Motor turn ON and OFF.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the EBCM.
2. Test for less than 5 ohms between the ground circuit terminal 16 and ground.

If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.

3. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 1 and ground.

If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.

4. If all circuits test normal, replace the BPMV. If the DTC resets, replace the EBCM.
