For 1990-2009 cars

### Circuit Description

The EBCM internal relay supplies battery voltage to all eight valve solenoids and to the pump motor. The EBCM microprocessor applies the grounds needed to activate each solenoid. The low side of each solenoid coil has a feedback circuit to the EBCM microprocessor. When a solenoid is commanded off, the feedback voltage is high. When a solenoid is commanded on, the feedback voltage is low.

### 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 an internal malfunction.

### 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

Important: Whenever the EBCM is replaced for DTC C0265 or C0266, the ABS pump motor and motor circuitry must be tested for the proper resistance. Refer to steps 7 and 8 in the diagnostic table below for testing procedures and resistance values.

#### C0265

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

• | Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections

• | Testing for Electrical Intermittents

• | Connector Repairs

• | Wiring Repairs

#### C0266

Replace the EBCM if DTC C0266 continues to set intermittently.

### Test Description

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

1. This step tests if the battery positive voltage circuit can supply adequate power to the system relay.

2. A shorted ABS pump motor or shorted motor circuitry may damage the contacts within the system relay. Follow this step to prevent damage to a replacement EBCM.

1. Turn OFF the ignition.
2. Disconnect from the EBCM, the harness connector containing the battery positive voltage circuit.
3. Connect a test lamp between the battery positive voltage circuit and a good ground.

Does the test lamp illuminate?

Go to Step 5

5 | Repair the open in the battery positive voltage circuit. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you complete the repair? | -- | Go to Step 11 | --
6 | Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the EBCM. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 11 | Go to Step 7
7 | Important: It may be necessary to separate the EBCM from the BPMV to gain access to the pump motor pigtail connector. If so, refer to Electronic Brake Control Module Replacement .

1. Disconnect from the EBCM, the ABS pump motor pigtail connector.
2. Use a DMM in order to measure the resistance across the ABS pump motor.

Does the resistance measure within the specified range?

0.3-1.0 ohms

Go to Step 8

Go to Step 10

8 | Use a DMM in order to measure the resistance between the high side of the pump motor and a good ground. Does the resistance measure less than the specified value? | 0L | Go to Step 10 | Go to Step 9
9 | Important: Use the scan tool in order to perform the Tire Size Calibration procedure and the Trim Level Calibration procedure, if applicable. Replace the EBCM. Refer to Electronic Brake Control Module Replacement . Did you complete the replacement? | -- | Go to Step 11 | --
10 | Important: Use the scan tool in order to perform the Tire Size Calibration procedure and the Trim Level Calibration procedure, if applicable. Replace the EBCM and the BPMV. Refer to Electronic Brake Control Module Replacement and Brake Pressure Modulator Valve Replacement .

Did you complete the replacements?
