Mechanical Conditions

The wheel speeds are detected by passive wheel speed sensors. The wheel speed sensor receives a 5 V reference and a low reference from the electronic brake control module (EBCM) and provides a AC signal back to the module. As the wheel spins, the EBCM uses the frequency of the signal to calculate the wheel speed.

  1. The ignition is ON.
  2. Ignition voltage is greater than 10 V.

C0035 01-C0040 01

A short to ground is detected on the wheel speed 5 V reference circuit.

C0035 04-C0040 04

High resistance is detected on the wheel speed 5 V reference or low reference circuit.

C0035 05-C0040 05

A short to voltage, or an open is detected on 5 V reference or the low reference circuit.

C0035 0F-C0040 0F

  1. An erratic signal output of the wheel speed sensor is detected 3 times in 200 milliseconds.
  2. The EBCM detects a change in wheel speed that exceeds 20 km/h (12 mph) between two 10 millisecond wheel speed samples. This must be detected 3 times in 200 milliseconds.
  3. A missing wheel speed sensor signal

C0035 26-C0040 26

An erratic signal output of the wheel speed sensor.

  1. The EBCM disables the Antilock Brake System (ABS) and Traction Control System (TCS) for the duration of the ignition cycle.
  2. A driver information center message and/or a warning indicator may be displayed.
  1. The condition for setting the DTC is no longer present.
  2. The EBCM clears the history DTC when a current DTC is not detected in 100 consecutive drive cycles.

If the customer comments that the ABS indicator is ON only during moist environmental conditions such as rain, snow, or a vehicle wash; then inspect the wheel speed sensor wiring for signs of water intrusion. If the DTC is not current, clear all DTCs and simulate the effects of water intrusion. Test drive the vehicle over various road surfaces such as bumps and turns, above 40 km/h (25 mph) for at least 30 seconds.

  1. Inspect the back of the wheel bearing on the encoder surface for metal debris that could cause an erratic reading with the sensor. Do not use a magnet to clean the debris, or damage to the encoder ring may occur.
  2. If both of the wheel speed sensors are inoperative diagnose each wheel speed sensor individually.
  3. If the ABS, traction control and/or stabilitrak telltales are ON with no DTCs set, after repairs are made, and DTCs are cleared, operate the vehicle at speeds greater than 15 km/h (10 mph) to complete the self test, and the EBCM should turn off the ABS indicator.

The vehicle speed sensor, also called the output shaft speed sensor creates an AC voltage as the rotor teeth pass through the magnetic field of the sensor. The transmission control module (TCM) converts the AC voltage into a vehicle speed signal, which is used to determine shift timing and torque converter clutch scheduling. The TCM also provides a replicated transmission output speed signal to the engine control module (ECM).

The ECM converts the data from the output speed signal to a 128K pulses/mile engine speed signal. The electronic brake control module (EBCM) uses the signal from the ECM in order to calculate the rear wheel speed.

  1. Ignition ON.
  2. Ignition voltage is greater than 10 volts.
  1. The EBCM detects a short to voltage, short to ground or an open/high resistance on the rear wheel speed sensor signal circuit.
  2. The replicated output speed signal is erratic or has electrical noise on the signal causing the 128K pulses/mile engine speed signal to lose pulses.
  3. A defective transmission vehicle speed sensor or output speed sensor can cause inaccurate speed reading, creating faulty replicated output speed signal.
  1. The EBCM disables the Antilock Brake System (ABS) for the duration of the ignition cycle.
  2. A driver information center message and/or a warning indicator may be displayed.
  1. The condition for setting the DTC is no longer present.
  2. The EBCM clears the history DTC when a current DTC is not detected in 100 consecutive drive cycles.
  1. Visually inspect the vehicle speed sensor or output speed sensor for cracks or damage.
  2. Ensure the vehicle speed sensor or output speed sensor is properly torqued.
  3. Inspect the internal tone ring or gear teeth for damage.
  4. Check for missing pulses or electrical noise on the replicated transmission output speed signal.

The electronic brake control module (EBCM) monitors Traction Control System (TCS) activation in order to calculate an estimate of the EBCM solenoid valve temperatures. In most cases high solenoid valve temperatures are caused by extended TCS activation. If the EBCM calculates that the solenoid valve temperatures are too high, the EBCM will temporarily suspend the TCS function until the solenoid valves cool.

  1. Ignition ON.
  2. Ignition voltage is greater than 8 volts.

The estimated solenoid coil temperature reaches 220°C (428°F).

  1. The EBCM disables the TCS for the duration of the ignition cycle.
  2. The driver information center (DIC) displays the SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL message.
  3. The DIC displays the Vehicle Stability Enhancement System (VSES) inhibited.
  1. After the solenoid valves have cooled the EBCM automatically re-enables TCS function.
  2. The EBCM clears the history DTC when a current DTC is not detected in 100 consecutive drive cycles.

Most occurrences of this DTC are caused by excessive TCS activation or braking.

Yaw Rate Lateral Accelerometer Sensor 12-Volt Reference SignalC0292 02C0292 07
Yaw Rate Lateral Accelerometer Sensor Low ReferenceC0292 02C0292 07

The stability control system is activated by the electronic brake control module (EBCM) by calculating the desired yaw rate and comparing it to the actual yaw rate input. The yaw and lateral accelerometer sensor communicates with the EBCM on a dedicated CAN bus. The desired yaw rate is calculated from the measured steering wheel position, vehicle speed, and lateral acceleration. The difference between the desired yaw rate and actual yaw rate is the yaw rate error, which is a measurement of over-steer or under-steer. If the yaw rate error becomes too large, the EBCM will attempt to correct the vehicle's yaw motion by applying differential braking to the wheels.

The electronic brake control module supplies a 5 V reference and provides a low reference to the steering wheel angle sensor along with ignition voltage to the yaw and lateral accelerometer sensor. The yaw and lateral accelerometer sensor ignition voltage is monitored via an internal feedback circuit to the EBCM microprocessor.

  1. Ignition ON.
  2. Ignition voltage is greater than 10 volts.

C0292 02

The EBCM detects that the 5 V reference circuit is shorted to ground.

C0292 07

  1. The EBCM detects that the yaw and lateral accelerometer sensor ignition circuit is shorted to ground.
  2. The EBCM detects that the steering angle sensor 5 V reference circuit is shorted to ground or shorted to B+.
  3. The EBCM detects that the steering angle sensor low reference circuit is open or has high resistance.
  1. The EBCM turns OFF the 12-volt reference circuit, until the ignition is cycled.
  2. The EBCM disables the traction control system (TCS)/vehicle stability enhancement system (VSES) for the duration of the ignition cycle.
  1. The condition for setting the DTC is no longer present and the DTC is cleared with a scan tool.
  2. The EBCM clears the history DTC when a current DTC is not detected in 100 consecutive drive cycles.

If the yaw rate sensor and lateral accelerometer sensor is disconnected, DTCs will set and the EBCM will not provide 12-volt reference.

  1. Ignition ON.
  2. Ignition voltage is greater than 10 volts.

The EBCM receives an invalid message from another module over Serial Data which causes the EBCM to deactivate ABS, and TCS, etc.

One or more of the following actions may occur

  1. The EBCM disables the TCS until the DTC becomes a history DTC.
  2. The ABS remains functional.
  3. The Traction Off indicator illuminates.
  1. The condition for the DTC is no longer present and the DTC is cleared with a scan tool.
  2. The EBCM clears the history DTC when a current DTC is not detected in 100 consecutive drive cycles.

This DTC is for information only. As an aid to the technician, this DTC indicates that there are no problems in the ABS/TCS. The ECM and BCM should be checked for a possible fault.

The electronic brake control module (EBCM) supplies a 5 V reference and provides a low reference to the steering wheel angle sensor. The EBCM monitors the signal circuit and the three phase circuits to determine the steering wheel position. The EBCM receives three signal inputs from the steering wheel speed/position sensor. The Index Pulse signal is only High when the steering wheel is centered or within a few degrees of the straight ahead position. The 2 input signals Phase A and Phase B are approximately 90 degrees out of phase. The EBCM dynamically interprets the relationship between the Phase A and Phase B inputs, and determines the position of the steering wheel and the direction of the steering wheel rotation.

  1. Ignition ON.
  2. Ignition voltage is greater than 9 V.
  1. Phase A and Phase B signal resistance values do not correlate to one another.
  2. The calculated steering angle from the steering wheel position sensor does not correlate with the steering angle calculated from the yaw rate.
  1. The EBCM disables the vehicle stability enhancement system for the duration of the ignition cycle.
  2. The driver information center (DIC) displays the Service Stability System message.
  3. The antilock brake system (ABS) remains functional.
  4. The traction control and the stability indicators illuminate.
  1. The condition for the DTC is no longer present.
  2. The EBCM clears the history DTC when a current DTC is not detected in 100 consecutive drive cycles.
  1. Before any in-depth diagnostics are performed, be aware that DTC C0710 may set if the vehicle has been modified with; suspension lift/lowering kits, the incorrect indexing of the steering shaft to the steering gear or the wrong steering gear installed, or if other than stock size wheels and tires have been installed.
  2. To correct a fretting condition disconnect the suspect connector and add Nyogel lubricant 760G (dielectric grease) to both sides of the connector terminals. Then reconnect the connector and wipe away any excess lubricant. This will correct the additional terminal contact resistance due to the terminal fretting corrosion.
  3. During diagnosis, park the vehicle on a level surface.
  4. The vehicle should not pull in either direction while driving straight on a level surface.
  5. Verify the steering wheel and steering wheel angle sensor is installed correctly.
  6. Verify the steering shaft coupling to the steering gear is properly installed and aligned.
  7. Find out from the customer the conditions under which the DTC was set. This information will help to duplicate the failure.
  8. The snapshot function on the scan tool can help find an intermittent DTC.

WARNINGRefer to Brake Fluid Irritant Warning .

Note. Before performing the ABS Automated Bleed Procedure, first perform a manual or pressure bleed of the base hydraulic brake system. Refer to Hydraulic Brake System Bleeding (Pressure) , Hydraulic Brake System Bleeding (Manual) . The automated bleed procedure must be performed when a new brake pressure modulator valve (BPMV) is installed, because the secondary circuits of the new BPMV are not prefilled with brake fluid. The automated bleed procedure is recommended when one of the following conditions exist: Base brake system bleeding does not achieve the desired pedal height or feel Extreme loss of brake fluid has occurred Air ingestion is suspected in the secondary circuits of the brake modulator assembly

The ABS Automated Bleed Procedure uses a scan tool to cycle the system solenoid valves and run the pump in order to purge any air from the secondary circuits. These circuits are normally closed off, and are only opened during system initialization at vehicle start up and during ABS operation. The automated bleed procedure opens these secondary circuits and allows any air trapped in these circuits to flow out away from the brake modulator assembly, which is then forced out at the brake corners by the pressure bleeder.

Automated Bleed Procedure

ABS Description and Operation

Vehicles with RPO JL4 are equipped with an EBC 445V ABS/DRP/TCS/VSES module.

This module provides the following vehicle performance enhancement systems.

  1. ABS
  2. Dynamic Rear Proportioning (DRP)
  3. Traction Control System (TCS)
  4. Vehicle Stability Enhancement System (VSES)

The following components are involved in the operation of the above systems.

  1. Electronic brake control module (EBCM)-The EBCM controls the system functions and detects failures. The EBCM contains the following components. System relay-The system relay is internal to the EBCM. The system relay is energized when the ignition is ON. The system relay supplies battery positive voltage to the valve solenoids and to the ABS pump motor. This voltage is referred to as system voltage. Solenoids-The solenoids are commanded ON and OFF by the EBCM to operate the appropriate valves in the brake pressure modulator valve (BPMV). Longitudinal accelerometer-The EBCM uses the longitudinal accelerometer to determine the actual straight-line acceleration of the vehicle.
  2. BPMV-The BPMV uses a 4-circuit configuration to control hydraulic pressure to each wheel independently. The BPMV contains the following components. ABS pump motor and pump Four isolation valves Four dump valves Two traction control isolation valves Two traction control supply valves A master cylinder pressure sensor A front low-pressure accumulator A rear low-pressure accumulator
  3. Active wheel speed sensors-The EBCM sends a 12-volt reference signal to each wheel speed sensor. As the wheel spins, the wheel speed sensor produces a digital square wave DC signal voltage. The wheel speed sensor increases the signal frequency as the wheel speed increases, but does not increase the signal amplitude.
  4. Passive wheel speed sensors-As the wheels spin, toothed rings interrupt magnetic fields in the wheel speed sensors. This causes each wheel speed sensor to generate an analog AC signal. The EBCM uses these AC signals to calculate the wheel speed. Any imperfections in the toothed ring, such as a missing or damaged tooth, can cause an inaccurate wheel speed sensor signal.
  5. The vehicle speed sensor (VSS) also called the output speed sensor (OSS) may be found in the transmission or transfer case and creates a AC voltage signal that increases in frequency as vehicle speed increases. The transmission control module (TCM) receives and process this signal. The TCM provides a digital VSS signal on the data communication line to the engine control module (ECM) and other controllers connected to the data line. The ECM converts the data from the vehicle speed sensor to a 128K pulses/mile signal. The electronic brake control module (EBCM) uses the vehicle speed signal from the ECM in order to calculate the rear wheel speed.
  6. Traction control switch-VSES and the engine torque reduction function of traction control system are manually disabled by pressing and holding the traction control switch for at least 5 seconds. These functions can be re-enabled with a quick press and release of the traction control switch.
  7. Lateral accelerometer-The EBCM uses the lateral accelerometer to determine the sideways acceleration of the vehicle. The lateral accelerometer is packaged with the yaw rate sensor as a single component.
  8. Master cylinder pressure sensor-The master cylinder pressure sensor is located within the BPMV. The master cylinder pressure sensor uses a 5-volt reference and generates an output signal proportionate to the hydraulic fluid pressure which is present in the front brake circuit at the master cylinder.
  9. Yaw rate sensor-The EBCM uses the yaw rate sensor to determine the rate of rotation along the vehicle's vertical axis. The yaw rate sensor is packaged with the lateral accelerometer as a single component.
  10. Steering wheel position sensor-The EBCM receives several inputs from the steering wheel position sensor. Three digital square wave signal inputs are wired directly to the EBCM harness connector, however, only signals A and B are used or monitored. The failure of the index pulse signal does not effect VSES function. The EBCM also monitors an analog steering wheel position sensor signal. Battery voltage is supplied to the digital portion of the steering wheel position sensor by the ignition 1 circuit. The analog portion of the steering wheel position sensor is supplied a 5-volt reference from the EBCM.

When wheel slip is detected during a brake application, an ABS event occurs. During antilock braking, hydraulic pressure in the individual wheel circuits is controlled to prevent any wheel from slipping. A separate hydraulic line and specific solenoid valves are provided for each wheel. The ABS can decrease, hold, or increase hydraulic pressure to each wheel. The ABS does not, however, increase hydraulic pressure above the amount which is transmitted by the master cylinder during braking.

During antilock braking, a series of rapid pulsations is felt in the brake pedal. These pulsations are caused by the rapid changes in position of the individual solenoid valves as the electronic brake control module (EBCM) responds to wheel speed sensor inputs and attempts to prevent wheel slip. These pedal pulsations are present only during antilock braking and stop when normal braking is resumed or when the vehicle comes to a stop. A ticking or popping noise may also be heard as the solenoid valves cycle rapidly. During antilock braking on dry pavement, intermittent chirping noises may be heard as the tires approach slipping. These noises and pedal pulsations are considered normal during antilock operation.

Vehicles equipped with ABS may be stopped by applying normal force to the brake pedal. Brake pedal operation during normal braking is no different than that of previous non-ABS systems. Maintaining a constant force on the brake pedal provides the shortest stopping distance while maintaining vehicle stability. The typical ABS activation sequence is as follows.

Pressure Hold

The EBCM closes the isolation valve and keeps the dump valve closed in order to isolate the slipping wheel when wheel slip occurs. This holds the pressure steady on the brake so that the hydraulic pressure does not increase or decrease.

Pressure Decrease

If a pressure hold does not correct the wheel slip condition, a pressure decrease occurs. The EBCM decreases the pressure to individual wheels during deceleration when wheel slip occurs. The isolation valve is closed and the dump valve is opened. The excess fluid is stored in the accumulator until the pump can return the fluid to the master cylinder or fluid reservoir.

Pressure Increase

After the wheel slip is corrected, a pressure increase occurs. The EBCM increases the pressure to individual wheels during deceleration in order to reduce the speed of the wheel. The isolation valve is opened and the dump valve is closed. The increased pressure is delivered from the master cylinder.

Dynamic Rear Proportioning (DRP)

The dynamic rear proportioning (DRP) is a control system that enhances the hydraulic proportioning function of the mechanical proportioning valve in the base brake system. The DRP control system is part of the operation software in the electronic brake control module (EBCM). The DRP uses active control with existing ABS in order to regulate the vehicle's rear brake pressure.

Traction Control System (TCS)

Traction is maintained by limiting the amount of torque produced by the drivetrain and also by applying brake pressure to slipping wheels during acceleration. This causes power to transfer through the driveline to wheels which are not slipping. The transfer case used on four wheel drive vehicles equipped with vehicle stability enhancement system (VSES) does not contain a viscous coupling and therefore allows the front and rear drive shafts to turn at substantially different speeds. This front to rear differential must be kept within acceptable parameters by the VSES. The two methods of traction control are performed as follows.

Engine Torque Reduction

The electronic brake control module (EBCM) uses a 5-volt pulse width modulated (PWM) signal to request that the powertrain control module (PCM) reduce the amount of torque to the drive wheels. The PCM reduces torque to the drive wheels by retarding spark timing and commanding the throttle actuator control. The PCM uses a 12-volt PWM signal to report to the EBCM the amount of torque that is being delivered to the drive wheels. Engine torque reduction is mostly used to reduce vehicle speed during VSES events and during traction control system events when the brakes are in danger of being overheated or when the driven wheels are slipping at the same rate. Engine torque reduction can be disabled by pressing the traction control switch.

Brake Pressure Application

The EBCM uses brake pressure application to control traction by transferring torque through the driveline to wheels which are not slipping. The ABS pump motor and appropriate valve solenoids are commanded ON and OFF to apply brake pressure to the slipping wheels. Brake pressure application is used in an attempt to maintain equal wheel speed sensor signals at the driven wheels.

The EBCM does not allow excessive brake pressure application due to the fact that the solenoid coils or the brakes may become overheated, damaging the EBCM or reducing the driver's ability to stop the vehicle. Estimated coil and brake temperatures are determined by a calculation in the EBCM software. Overheated solenoid coils cause all brake pressure application to become disabled and the stability system disabled message to be displayed. Overheated brakes cause brake pressure application during traction control events to disable, yet the VSES remains functional and as long as the engine torque reduction is enabled, there is no indication to the driver when this occurs and no DTC sets.

Vehicle Stability Enhancement System (VSES)

The vehicle stability enhancement system (VSES) provides added stability during aggressive maneuvers. Yaw rate is the rate of rotation about the vehicle's vertical axis. The VSES is activated when the electronic brake control module determines that the desired yaw rate does not match the actual yaw rate as measured by the yaw rate sensor.

The desired yaw rate is calculated by the EBCM using, primarily, the following inputs.

  1. The position of the steering wheel
  2. The speed of the vehicle
  3. The lateral, or sideways acceleration of the vehicle

The difference between the desired yaw rate and the actual yaw rate is the yaw rate error, which is a measurement of oversteer or understeer. When a yaw rate error is detected, the EBCM attempts to correct the vehicle's yaw motion by applying brake pressure to one or more of the wheels. The amount of brake pressure which is applied varies, depending on the correction required. The engine torque may be reduced also, if it is necessary to slow the vehicle while maintaining stability.

VSES activations generally occur in turns during aggressive driving. When braking during VSES activation, the pedal may pulsate. The brake pedal pulsates at a higher frequency during VSES activation than during ABS activation.

System Pre-Fill

This vehicle is equipped with a four wheel disc brake system. Disc brake calipers are designed so that when hydraulic pressure is not being applied, the caliper piston lip seal causes the piston to retract, creating measurable clearance between the brake pads and the rotor. Since a small amount of brake fluid must be delivered to the calipers before any actual braking occurs, the vehicle stability enhancement system (VSES) uses system pre-fill to prevent delayed brake application and enhance system performance. If the electronic brake control module (EBCM) determines that a brake application is likely to be needed, the ABS pump motor runs momentarily to take up any clearances between the brake pads and the rotor. By monitoring the master cylinder pressure sensor feedback signal, the EBCM can determine when the brake pads are contacting the rotor. The EBCM then holds this small amount of pressure in the system. A VSES brake application may or may not occur after pre-fill is complete. If the EBCM determines that a brake application is no longer pending, the pre-fill pressure is released and the VSES system returns to the normal, monitoring state. The reason that we must understand system pre-fill is that pre-fill may lead to customer concerns. Any time the ABS pump motor is active, the motor draws a large amount of current, and may cause the vehicle lighting systems to dim noticeably. When ABS activity occurs, most drivers understand that this activity is the cause of noises and dimming lights. Likewise, when an actual VSES event occurs, the Stability System Active message is displayed, which helps drivers understand why these other conditions occur. Since pre-fill is not an actual VSES event, but preparation for a pending event, no message is displayed. Also, system noise during pre-fill is very minimal. A customer may become concerned with what is perceived to be an electrical problem, due to the intermittent dimming lights, when, in fact, no malfunction exists and the condition is normal.

Power-up Self-Test

The electronic brake control module (EBCM) is able to detect many malfunctions whenever the ignition is ON. However, certain failures cannot be detected unless active diagnostic tests are performed on the components. Shorted solenoid coil or motor windings, for example, cannot be detected until the components are commanded ON by the EBCM. Therefore, a power-up self-test is required at the beginning of each ignition cycle to verify correct operation of components before the various control systems can be enabled. The EBCM performs the first phase of the power-up self-test when the ignition is first turned ON. The system relay, solenoids and the ABS pump motor are commanded ON and OFF to verify proper operation and the EBCM verifies the ability to return the system to base braking in the event of a failure. The master cylinder pressure sensor performs a self-test by sending a series of specific voltage signals to the EBCM, each for a predetermined amount of time. This phase of the power-up self-test may be heard by the driver, depending on how soon the engine is cranked and started after turning ON the ignition. The second phase of the power-up self-test begins when the vehicle is driven at a speed greater than 16 km/h (10 mph) and the EBCM has not detected any traction control system (TCS)/vehicle stability enhancement system (VSES) related malfunctions thus far. During this phase, the ABS pump is tested to verify the ability to build adequate pressure to perform brake pressure application during certain TCS and VSES events. When the brake switch indicates that the brake is not applied and the master cylinder pressure is detected as being low, the EBCM proceeds with the test. The EBCM isolates all of the wheels by closing the 4 isolation valves. The ABS pump is then commanded ON while the EBCM monitors the master cylinder pressure sensor input. The ABS pump must build approximately 248 kPa (36 psi) of hydraulic pressure within 1 second or the test is failed. If the EBCM uses brake pressure application to perform TCS or VSES prior to the second phase of the power-up self-test, the ABS pump is tested at this time and the second phase of the test is not required. Due to the fact that all of the wheels are isolated during the second phase of the test, the test must be aborted if the brake is applied while the test is being performed. Occasionally, the driver may detect this by experiencing a momentary hard pedal.

VSES Sensors Initialization

The vehicle stability enhancement system (VSES) sensors values may vary slightly due to differences in temperature, sensor mounting, connector resistances, manufacturing, etc. Since the VSES is a very sensitive and precise control system, it is imperative that the electronic brake control module (EBCM) be able to accurately equate a given sensor voltage with an actual unit of measurement. For example, the yaw rate signal of one vehicle may be 2.64 volts at +18.0 deg/sec yaw rate while the yaw rate signal of another vehicle may be 2.64 volts at +17.5 deg/sec yaw rate. Therefore, at the beginning of each ignition cycle, the EBCM must perform an initialization procedure to observe how the VSES sensors are correlated with each other and also to determine what each sensor value is when the applicable unit of measurement equals 0. This voltage is referred to as the sensor bias voltage. Although some activation of the VSES system may occur if required to prior to full initialization, the system does not give optimum performance until the sensors are fully initialized.

The following VSES sensors require initialization.

  1. The yaw rate sensor
  2. The lateral accelerometer
  3. The longitudinal accelerometer
  4. The master cylinder pressure sensor
  5. The steering wheel position sensor

When the vehicle speed is greater than 25 km/h (15 mph), full sensor initialization must occur during 3 km (1.8 mi) of driving or 1 km (0.6 mi) of straight and stable driving, whichever occurs first. Although an attempt at initialization may fail due to driving conditions, such as driving on a very winding road, failed initialization is usually caused by a sensor bias voltage which is not within an acceptable range. Often, a DTC sets soon after a failed initialization attempt. The stability system not ready indicator illuminates when sensor initialization fails.

ECE 13 Response

The electronic brake control module (EBCM) illuminates the ABS indicator when a malfunction which disables ABS is detected. Usually, the ABS indicator is turned OFF during the following ignition cycle unless the fault is detected during that ignition cycle. However, the setting of a wheel speed sensor related DTC causes the ABS indicator to remain illuminated during the following ignition cycle until the vehicle is operated at a speed greater than 13 km/h (8 mph). This allows the EBCM to verify that no malfunction exists, before turning OFF the ABS indicator. This reaction occurs even if the ABS indicator turns OFF when the scan tool is used to clear the DTCs. When repairing these vehicles, it is important to ensure that the ECE 13 response has occurred and that the ABS indicator does not illuminate after returning the vehicle to the customer. It is also important to verify that ECE 13 is not the cause of an ABS indicator which is illuminated when no DTCs are set, before attempting to diagnose other possible causes.

Driver Information Indicators and Messages

The following indicators are used to inform the driver of several different factors.

Brake Warning Indicator

The instrument panel cluster (IPC) illuminates the brake warning indicator when the following occurs.

  1. The IPC performs the bulb check.
  2. The EBCM detects an ABS-disabling malfunction which also disables dynamic rear proportioning and sends a serial data message to the IPC requesting illumination.
  3. The electronic brake control module (EBCM) detects a low brake fluid condition or a base brake pressure differential and sends a serial data message to the IPC requesting illumination.
  4. The body control module (BCM) detects that the park brake is engaged. The IPC receives a serial data message from the BCM requesting illumination. The brake warning indicator flashes at a rate of approximately twice per second when the park brake is engaged.

ABS Indicator

The IPC illuminates the ABS indicator when the following occurs.

  1. The IPC performs the bulb check.
  2. The IPC detects a loss of serial data communication with the EBCM.
  3. The EBCM detects an ABS-disabling malfunction and sends a serial data message to the IPC requesting illumination.
  4. A DTC is set during the previous ignition cycle which requires an ECE 13 response at the beginning of the current ignition cycle. The EBCM sends a serial data message to the IPC requesting illumination.

Traction Off Indicator

The IPC illuminates the traction off indicator when the following occurs.

  1. The IPC performs the bulb check.
  2. The EBCM disables engine torque reduction due to a malfunction and sends a serial data message to the IPC requesting illumination.
  3. The IPC flashes the traction off indicator if wheel slip is detected while engine torque reduction and brake pressure application are both disabled.
  4. The driver manually disables VSES and engine torque reduction by pressing the traction control switch. The EBCM sends a serial data message to the IPC requesting illumination.

The message center displays the service stability system message when any one of many VSES-disabling DTCs is set. The EBCM sends a serial data message to the IPC requesting this display.

Stability SYS Active Message

The message center displays the stability system active message when a traction control or VSES event occurs. The EBCM sends a serial data message to the IPC request this display.

Stability SYS Ready Message

The message center displays the stability system ready message when the system has initialize.

Stability SYS Disabled Message

The message center displays the stability system disabled message when one or more of the following conditions exists.

  1. The transfer case is shifted into 4 LO. The EBCM sends a serial data message to the IPC requesting illumination
  2. VSES sensor initialization time is excessive. The EBCM sends a serial data message to the IPC requesting this display.
  3. The EBCM detects an excessively low or excessively high ignition voltage. The EBCM sends a serial data message to the IPC requesting this display.
  4. The estimated temperature of any solenoid coil exceeds an acceptable limit. The EBCM sends a serial data message to the IPC requesting this display.
  5. The EBCM detects a failed brake switch. The EBCM sends a serial data message to the IPC requesting this display. A DTC sets when this condition exists.
  6. The PCM is not able to perform engine torque reduction. The EBCM sends a serial data message to the IPC requesting this display. DTCs set when this condition exists.
  7. The driver manually disables the VSES and engine torque reduction by pressing the traction control switch. The EBCM sends a serial data message to the IPC requesting illumination.
  8. The powertrain control module (PCM) is not able to perform engine torque reduction. The EBCM sends a serial data message to the IPC requesting illumination. DTCs set when this condition exists.
  9. The EBCM detects that the brake fluid level is low or a base brake pressure differential exists. These two conditions are not distinguishable by the EBCM. The EBCM sends a serial data message to the IPC requesting this display.
  10. Serial data communication between the EBCM and any of several other control modules is interrupted. The EBCM sends a serial data message to the IPC requesting this display or the IPC displays the message when communication with the EBCM is interrupted.

Traction Active Message
