DTC Descriptor
DTC C0875 00
- Device Voltage Reference Input 2 Circuit




Diagnostic Fault Information






Circuit Description

The yaw rate sensor reference voltage is monitored for an over or under voltage condition.


Conditions for Running the DTC

* The ignition is ON.
* The vehicle speed is greater than 40 km/h (25 mph).



Conditions for Setting the DTC

A malfunction is detected if the supply voltage is above 2.9 volts or below 2.1 volts for more than 200 milliseconds.


Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* A malfunction DTC is set.
* The traction control system (TCS) and vehicle stability enhancement system (VSES) are disabled.
* The SERVICE VEHICLE SOON and Stability Off lamp indicators are ON.



Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* The condition for the DTC is no longer present.
* A history DTC will clear after 100 consecutive ignition cycles if the condition for the malfunction is no longer present.
* Using a scan tool.
* The electronic brake control module (EBCM) automatically clears the history DTC when a current DTC is not detected in 100 consecutive drive cycles.



Diagnostic Aids

Possible causes of this DTC are the following conditions:

* An open in the yaw rate sensor supply voltage circuit.
* A short to ground in the yaw rate sensor supply voltage circuit.
* A short to B+ in the yaw rate sensor supply voltage circuit.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the EBCM harness connector at the Yaw and Lateral Acceleration Sensor.
2. Ignition OFF, with a DMM test for less than 5.0 ohms of resistance between the Yaw and Lateral Acceleration Sensor low reference circuit terminal 6 and ground.

If greater than the specified range, with the DMM test the low reference terminal 6 circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.

3. Ignition ON, with a DMM test for 2.1-2.9 volts between the Yaw and Lateral Acceleration Sensor 5-volt reference circuit terminal 1 and ground.

If less than the specified range, with the DMM test the 5-volt reference circuit terminal 1 for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.
If greater than the specified range, with the DMM test the 5-volt reference circuit terminal 1 for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.

4. With the DMM, verify the Yaw and Lateral Acceleration Sensor signal circuit terminal 4 range is less than 2.1 volts.

If greater than the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal 2 for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.

5. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the Yaw and Lateral Acceleration Sensor signal circuit terminal 2 and the Yaw and Lateral Acceleration Sensor 5-volt reference circuit terminal 3. With a DMM verify the voltage value is greater than 2.9 volts.

If less than the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal 2 for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.

6. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the Yaw and Lateral Acceleration Sensor.



Component Testing

1. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the Yaw and Lateral Acceleration Sensor 5-volt reference terminal 1 and 5 volts. Install a jumper wire between the low reference terminal 6 and ground.
2. Sweep the sensor through the entire range while monitoring the resistance between the signal circuit terminal 4 and the low reference circuit terminal 6. The voltage should vary between 2.1-2.9 volts without any spikes or dropouts.

If not within the specified range or is erratic, replace the Yaw and Lateral Acceleration Sensor.




Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification (Verification Tests) after completing the diagnostic procedure.

* Vehicle Yaw Sensor with Vehicle Lateral Accelerometer Replacement (Service and Repair)
* Control Module References (Programming and Relearning) for EBCM replacement, setup, and programming
