Handling ESD Sensitive Parts Notice

Circuit Description

The normally closed outlet valves operate similarly to the inlet valves. When the EBCM/EBTCM grounds an outlet valve, however, the valve opens instead of closes.

The EBCM/EBTCM opens an outlet valve for short periods in order to reduce pressure at the right rear wheel.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The DTC C1252 sets when the EBCM/EBTCM detects an open or short to ground in the right rear outlet valve circuit.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The following actions are taken when the DTC sets:

    • A malfunction DTC is stored.
    • The ABS is disabled.
    • The ANTILOCK indicator lamp is turned ON.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

The DTC will clear under following conditions:

    • Conditions for the malfunction are no longer present. Use the scan tool Clear DTCs function.
    • 100 ignition switch key cycles have passed without detecting any malfunctions.

Diagnostic Aids

Perform a thorough inspection of the wiring and the connectors.

Failure to inspect wiring carefully may result in a misdiagnosis. A misdiagnosis may result in replacing parts without repairing the malfunction.
