Circuit/System Description
The electronic brake control module (EBCM) monitors the battery positive (B+) voltage. If the voltage level is too high, damage may result in the system. When a high voltage condition is detected the EBCM turns OFF the system relay which removes battery voltage from the solenoid valves and pump motor, and DTC C0900 00 sets.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The ignition is ON.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The system voltage is greater than 16 volts for 100 msec.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The traction control system (TCS) and vehicle stability enhancement system (VSES) are disabled for the duration of the ignition cycle. |
| • | The antilock brake system (ABS) is disabled if voltage exceeds 19.5 volts. |
| • | The EBCM requests the MIL to be turned ON. |
| • | The BRAKE indicator turns ON. |
| • | The antilock brake system (ABS) indicator turns ON if voltage exceeds 19.5 volts. |
| • | The vehicle dynamics caution (VDC) indicator turns ON. |
| • | The driver information center (DIC) displays the SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL message. |
| • | The DIC displays the SERVICE STABILITRAK message. |
| • | The DIC displays the SERVICE BRAKES SOON message. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The condition for the DTC is no longer present. |
| • | The EBCM automatically clears the history DTC when a current DTC is not detected in 100 consecutive drive cycles. |
Diagnostic Aids
| • | This DTC could be set by overcharging with a battery charger or jump starting. |
| • | A high voltage DTC in multiple modules indicates a concern in the charging system. |

Circuit/System Verification
- Engine running, accessories OFF, measure and record the voltage at the battery voltage at the battery terminals. The voltage should be between 12.6 and 15.0 volts.
- Observe the scan tool EBCM Battery Voltage parameter. The reading should be between 12.6 and 15.0 volts.
| ⇒ | If not within the specified range, refer to Charging System Test . |
| ⇒ | If greater than the specified range, replace the EBCM. |
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
