B0008
DTC B0008
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The antilock brake system (ABS)/traction control system (TCS) module sends serial data along the secondary serial data bus, circuit 1061. This is read by the instrument cluster to indicate the status of the traction control. If traction control has been disabled by the ABS/TCS module, the Traction Control Off warning will appear on the instrument cluster multifunction display (MFD). DTC 8 will set if there is no ABS data message on the bus for more than 10 seconds. In practice the trouble code is set somewhere between 10 and 20 seconds after the last ABS data message is received by the instrument cluster. The DTC is reset within 10 seconds of the arrival of an ABS data message on the bus. The DTC is logged as a History DTC.
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
By manipulating the harnesses at the various connectors it is often possible to isolate the cause of the circuit interruption. This harness can then be removed and repaired. Inspect for any damage to the harness which could cause an intermittent open or short to ground or backed out terminals at the instrument cluster connectors, broken connector locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals. The multimeter allows continuity of the wiring harness circuit 1061 to be checked.
