### Circuit Description

This DTC is the second portion of DTC C1291 and C1292. If DTCs C1291 or C1292 occurred during the last drive cycle, DTC C1293 becomes a current malfunction during the next ignition cycle, keeping ABS disabled until a Stoplamp Switch ON state is seen.

### Conditions for Setting the DTC

DTC C1293 alone indicates DTC C0091 or C0092 occurred previously, but is intermittent, or has been corrected.

### Action Taken When the DTC Sets

• | A malfunction DTC stores.

• | ABS is disabled until the EBCM receives a valid input from the brake switch.

### Conditions for Clearing the DTC

• | The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists and the Scan Tool Clear DTCs function is used.

• | When a change is seen during an ignition cycle in which DTC C1293 is a current malfunction, DTC C1291 or C1292 will clear itself at the end of the current ignition cycle and ABS will enable itself at the start of the next ignition cycle.

### Diagnostic Aids
