Circuit Description
The instrument cluster controls the operation of the ANTILOCK indicator. The EBTCM reports the desired status of the ANTILOCK indicator via serial data class 2 messages. The hard wired circuit is a back-up reporting circuit. The EBTCM supplies ground through the circuit when the ABS is operating properly. Using the serial data messages and back-up circuit, the instrument cluster decides whether to turn on the ANTILOCK indicator.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
All of the following conditions occur:
| • | The EBTCM commands the ANTILOCK indicator ON. |
| • | The EBTCM detects one of the following conditions in the ANTILOCK indicator control circuit: |
| - | An open |
| - | A short to ground |
| - | A short to voltage |
Actions Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | A malfunction DTC is stored. |
| • | The ABS remains functional. |
| • | For a short, the ABS indicator remains OFF. |
| • | For an open, the ABS indicator is turned ON. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The condition for DTC is no longer present and you used scan tool Clear DTCs function. |
| • | The condition for DTC is no longer present and you used the On-Board Clear DTCs function. |
| • | The EBTCM does not detect the DTC in 50 drive cycles. |
Diagnostic Aids
| • | Perform a thorough inspection of the wiring and the connectors. Failure to carefully and fully inspect wiring and connectors may result in misdiagnosis, causing part replacement with reappearance of the malfunction. |
| • | An intermittent malfunction may be caused by poor connections, broken insulation, or a wire that is broken inside the insulation. |
| • | If an intermittent malfunction exists, refer to Intermittents and Poor Connections . |
