Circuit Description
The electronic brake control module (EBCM) disables the traction control when other electronic control modules set DTCs for components that effect the operation of the traction control system.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC C0561 System Disabled Information Stored
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | The ignition is ON. |
| • | Ignition voltage is greater than 8 volts. |

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
Engine torque reduction traction control is disabled. The brake intervention traction remains operational.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The condition for the DTC is no longer present and the DTC is cleared with a scan tool. |
