Circuit Description
DTC 1264 identifies an ABS motor that cannot energize due to an open in the ABS motor circuitry. The malfunction will not allow proper rear ABS operation.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | DTC C1264 can only set when the motor is commanded off. |
| • | A malfunction exists if the EBCM detects an out of range voltage on either of the rear ABS motor circuits. The out of range voltage on either circuit indicates an open circuit exists. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | An open ABS motor will not activate. |
| • | A malfunction DTC stores. |
| • | The ABS disables. |
| • | The ABS warning indicator turns ON. |
| • | The red BRAKE warning indicator turns ON and DTC C1286 also sets if the rear piston in the ABS brake motor pack is not in the home position. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists and the Scan Tool Clear DTCs function is used. |
| • | 100 drive cycles pass with no DTCs detected. A drive cycle consists of starting the vehicle, driving the vehicle over 16 km/h (10 mph), stopping and then turning the ignition OFF. |
Diagnostic Aids
Use the Scan Tool Manual Control function in order to exercise ABS motor movement of affected channel in both directions while applying light pressure on the brake pedal.
An intermittent malfunction may be indicated if erratic or jumpy brake pedal movement is detected while performing an apply or release function of the ABS monitor.
The following conditions may cause an intermittent malfunction:
| • | A poor connection |
| • | Rubbed-through wire insulation |
| • | A broken wire inside the insulation |
If the malfunction is not current, use the following procedure to pinpoint an intermittent malfunction in the motor circuitry or connections:
- Wiggle the wires of the affected channel.
- Inspect if the DTC resets.
Use the enhanced diagnostic function of the Scan Tool in order to measure the frequency of the malfunction.
Thoroughly inspect any circuitry that may be causing the intermittent complaint for the following conditions:
| • | Backed out terminals |
| • | Improper mating |
| • | Broken locks |
| • | Improperly formed or damaged terminals |
| • | Poor terminal-to-wiring connections |
| • | Physical damage to the wiring harness |
Clear the DTCs after completing the diagnosis. Test drive the vehicle for three drive cycles in order to verify that the DTC does not reset. Use the following procedure in order to complete one drive cycle:
- Start the vehicle.
- Drive the vehicle over 16 km/h (10 mph).
- Stop the vehicle.
- Turn the ignition to the OFF position.
Test Description
-
This test checks for proper resistance of the motor.
-
This test checks for an open in the motor high circuitry.
-
This test checks for an open in the motor low circuitry.
-
This test determines if the malfunction is caused by the EBCM.
