Diagnostic Test


1. ESP SWITCH CIRCUIT
NOTE: If any other DTCs are present they must be repaired before continuing.

Turn the ignition on.
Turn the ESP switch on then off.
Check for car icon on solid in cluster and pressing ESP switch does not change state.
With the scan tool, read the switch state for the ESP switch with NO pressure on the brake, read and record DTCs.
Does the scan tool display switch state indicating pressed?

Yes


- Go To 2


No


- The condition that caused the symptom is currently not present. Inspect the related wiring for a possible intermittent condition. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires.

2. (Z905) OPEN CIRCUIT




Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the ESP switch.
Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12-volts, check the (Z905) ground circuit.
Does the test light illuminate brightly?

Yes


- Go To 3


No


- Repair (Z905) ground circuit for an open circuit or high resistance.
- Perform ABS VERIFICATION TEST.ABS Verification Test
