Circuit Description

The system relays are energized when the ignition is ON and the vehicle speed is greater than 6 km/h (4 mph). The system relay supplies voltage to the solenoid valves and to the pump motor. This voltage is referred to as the system voltage. The EBCM controls the solenoid valves by grounding the control circuit.

Conditions for Running the DTC

    • The ignition is ON.
    • The vehicle speed is greater than 6 km/h (4 mph).

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The EBCM detects an internal malfunction.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

The conditions for setting the DTC are no longer present and you use the scan tool Clear DTCs function.

Diagnostic Aids

An intermittent open/shorted solenoid DTC can be set by several different internal EBCM problems. Replace the EBCM if an open/shorted solenoid DTC continues to set intermittently.
