### Circuit Description

The proportioning valve contains a shuttle switch that is normally-open. This switch monitors front brake hydraulic pressure. This switch closes if there is a loss of pressure in the front brakes.

When shuttle switch closes, it causes to ground CKT AF01. This action turns ON the red BRAKE warning lamp. It also alerts the EBCM of the base brake failure. The EBCM then disables the ABS system.

The function of the ABS Resistor and diode # 2 between CKT 2Y02 and AF01 is to prevent a false base brake failure signal to the EBCM when either the parking brake is applied or the brake fluid level switch is closed.

### Conditions for Setting the DTC

This DTC will set when the following conditions are met:

• | This DTC can be set anytime after initialization.

• | The shuttle switch closes due to a loss of front brake hydraulic pressure.

• | Short to ground in the CKT AF01.

### Action Taken When the DTC Sets

• | A malfunction DTC stores.

• | The ABS disables.

• | 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.

• | 100 drive cycles pass with no DTCs detected. A drive cycle consists of starting the vehicle, driving the vehicle over 16 km/h (10 mph), stopping and then turning the ignition off.

### Diagnostic Aids

The following conditions may cause an intermittent malfunction:

• | A poor connection

• | Rubbed-through wire insulation

• | A broken wire inside the insulation

Use the enhanced diagnostic function of the Scan Tool in order to measure the frequency of the malfunction.

Thoroughly inspect any circuitry that may cause the intermittent complaint for the following conditions:

• | Backed out terminals

• | Improper mating

• | Broken locks

• | Improperly formed or damaged terminals

• | Poor terminal-to-wiring connections

• | Physical damage to the wiring harness
