Circuit/System Description

The electronic brake control module (EBCM) uses input from the brake pressure sensor for more accurate control during a Vehicle Stability Enhancement System (VSES) event. The brake pressure sensor is part of the brake pressure modulator valve (BPMV).

Conditions for Running the DTC

* Ignition ON.
* Ignition voltage is greater than 8 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

* Brake signal does not correlate to pressure signal.
* Signal is erratic and changes faster than physically allowed.

Actions Taken when the DTC Sets

* The EBCM disables the antilock brake system (ABS), traction control and StabiliTrak 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 setting the DTC is no longer present.
* The EBCM clears the history DTC when a current DTC is not detected in 40 consecutive drive cycles.
