For 1990-2009 cars

### Circuit Description

The EBCM applies the ground needed for pump motor activation. The low side of the pump motor has a feedback circuit to the EBCM. When the pump motor is commanded OFF and at rest, feedback voltage is high. When the pump motor is winding down after being commanded ON and then OFF, feedback voltage is low. The EBCM monitors this feedback voltage in order to determine if the motor is functioning properly.

### 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 any of the following conditions:

• | An open or shorted pump motor

• | An open or shorted pump motor driver circuit

• | A seized pump motor

### Action Taken When the DTC Sets

• | The EBCM disables the ABS.

• | The ABS indicator turns ON.

### 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

Thoroughly inspect connections or circuitry that may cause an intermittent malfunction. Refer to the following:

• | Testing for Electrical Intermittents

• | Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections

• | Wiring Repairs

• | Connector Repairs

### Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

1. It is imperative that the vehicle be driven to attempt to reset the DTC. Using the scan tool to perform a function test may not produce the same result, and therefore may cause misdiagnosis of the vehicle.

2. This step tests if the EBCM is capable of activating the ABS pump motor.

3. A shorted ABS pump motor may damage the EBCM. It is imperative that the steps in the table be followed in order to prevent damage to a replacement EBCM.

1. Turn OFF the ignition.
2. Disconnect from the EBCM, the 2-way harness connector which contains the battery positive voltage circuit and the ground circuit.

Caution: Unless directed otherwise, the ignition and start switch must be in the OFF or LOCK position, and all electrical loads must be OFF before servicing any electrical component. Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent an electrical spark should a tool or equipment come in contact with an exposed electrical terminal. Failure to follow these precautions may result in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or its components.

3. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
4. Disconnect the positive battery cable.
5. Place one lead of a DMM on the positive battery cable where the cable normally connects to the battery.
6. Place the other lead on the battery positive voltage circuit terminal within the 2-way EBCM harness connector.
7. Measure the total resistance between the positive battery cable and the EBCM.

Does the resistance measure within the specified range?

0.0-0.2 ohms

Go to Step 10

5 | Use a DMM to measure the resistance of the ground circuit. Does the resistance measure within the specified range? | 0.0-0.2 ohms | Go to Step 7 | Go to Step 11
6 | Important: On some applications, it may be necessary to separate the EBCM from the BPMV in order to perform this test. Also, DTC C0268 may set when this test is performed.

1. Turn OFF the ignition.
2. Disconnect from the EBCM, the ABS pump motor pigtail connector. For systems which have no pump motor pigtail, it is necessary to separate the EBCM from the BPMV in order to gain access to the pump motor connector of the EBCM. Refer to Electronic Brake Control Module Replacement .
3. Use a connector adapter test kit in order to connect a test lamp between the ABS pump motor power and ground circuits at the pump motor connector of the EBCM.
4. Turn ON the ignition.
5. Use the scan tool in order to clear the DTCs.
6. Use the scan tool in order to perform an ABS Function Test.

1. Reconnect both battery cables.
2. Disconnect from the EBCM, the ABS pump motor pigtail connector. For systems which have no pump motor pigtail, it is necessary to separate the EBCM from the BPMV in order to gain access to the pump motor connector of the EBCM. Refer to Electronic Brake Control Module Replacement .
3. Use a connector adapter test kit in order to connect a test lamp between the ABS pump motor power and ground circuits at the pump motor connector of the EBCM.
4. Turn ON the ignition.
5. Use the scan tool in order to clear the DTCs.
6. Use the scan tool in order to perform an ABS Function Test.
