Object Number: 598277 Size: MF
ABS Components
Precision Control System (PCS) (RPO JL4)

Circuit Description

During calibration of the offset of the pressure sensor signal, the pressure sensor signal offset value must be in the range of +/- 217.5 psi (15 Bar).

The pressure sensor is also monitored for sensitivity via a correlation between estimated vehicle deceleration and the pressure sensor signal. This is monitored over the course of numerous straight line non ABS braking stops.

Conditions for Running the DTC
    • The ignition is ON.
    • The vehicle speed is greater than 40 km/h (25 mph).

Conditions for Setting the DTC
    • The sensor signal offset value is out of range for more than 1 second.
    • The brake pedal is applied.
    • The ABS pump is not on.
    • The pressure sensor sensitivity is outside a predetermined range.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
    • A malfunction DTC is set
    • ABS, TCS and PCS are disabled
    • ABS, TCS, SERVICE ENGINE SOON and PCS lamp indicators turn on
    • ABS braking distance increases

Conditions for Clearing the DTC
    • The condition for the DTC is no longer present.
    • A history DTC will clear after 124 consecutive ignition cycles if the condition for the malfunction is no longer present.
    • Using a scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids
    • A malfunctioning pressure sensor.
    • A malfunctioning EBCM.
