For 1990-2009 cars

### Circuit Description

The valve relay is part of the Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM). The EBCM turns ON the valve relay when the ignition switch is in the ON position and no malfunction exists in the ABS. The valve relay provides power to the ABS solenoid valves.

### Conditions for Running the DTC

DTC C0125 can be set any time the ignition switch is in the ON position.

### Conditions for Setting the DTC

The EBCM detects an open in the valve relay circuitry.

### Action Taken When the DTC Sets

• | The ABS is disabled.

• | The ABS warning indicator turns ON.

### Conditions for Clearing the DTC

The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists and the scan tool Clear DTCs function is used.

### Diagnostic Aids

Thoroughly inspect the wiring and the connectors. An incomplete inspection of the wiring and the connectors may result in a misdiagnosis, causing a part replacement with the reappearance of the malfunction.

The following are possible causes of the malfunction:

• | An open or high resistance in the Battery Positive Voltage circuit

• | An open or high resistance in the Motor Ground circuit

• | An internal EBCM malfunction

If an intermittent malfunction exists, refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems.
