DTC C0240





Circuit Description
The PCM monitors various parameters and will not allow traction control operation if any parameter falls below a specified value.

Conditions for Running the DTC
The ignition is ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
The PCM detects a malfunction and then causes TCS shut down until the malfunction has been corrected.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
If equipped, the following actions occur:
^ A DTC C0240 is stored.
^ The TCS is disabled.
^ The TRAC OFF indicator is turned on.
^ If the TCS is again allowed to function, the indicator will be turned off but the DTC will be stored.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC
^ The condition for the DTC is no longer present and you used the scan tool Clear DTC function.
^ The EBCM automatically clears the history DTC when a current DTC is not detected in 100 consecutive drive cycles.

Diagnostic Aids
^ Thoroughly inspect the wiring and the connectors. Failure to carefully and fully inspect the wiring and the connectors can result in misdiagnosis. Misdiagnosis may cause replacement of parts without repairing the malfunction.
^ If an intermittent malfunction exists, refer to Testing for Intermittent and Poor Connections.
