DTC 14 - SOLENOID VALVE RELAY CONTACT CIRCUIT OPEN

#### CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION:

THE ABS/TCS RECEIVES POWER FROM THREE CIRCUITS. CKT 642 SUPPLIES BATTERY POWER TO THE PUMP MOTOR. CKT 342, OR CKT 102 IF A LESABRE, SUPPLIES BATTERY POWER TO THE SOLENOID VALVES, THE EBCM/EBTCM, AND THE COIL OF THE PUMP MOTOR RELAY. CKT 641 SUPPLIES BATTERY POWER TO INITIALIZE CONTROLLER OPERATIONS. IT ALSO SUPPLIES POWER TO THE SOLENOID VALVE RELAY.

DTC WILL SET WHEN:

THE POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM DOES NOT SUPPLY BATTERY VOLTAGE TO CKT 342. FUSE 2 (ABS SOL) IS OPEN. CKT 342 HAS A WIRING PROBLEM, TERMINAL CORROSION, OR POOR CONNECTIONS. IF A LESABRE, DTC 14 WILL SET IF THE FUSIBLE LINK IS OPEN, NO BATTERY VOLTAGE TO THE STARTER SOLENOID, OR CKT 102 HAS A WIRING PROBLEM, TERMINAL CORROSION, OR POOR CONNECTIONS. THERE IS AN INTERNAL MALFUNCTION IN THE EBCM/ EBTCM OR THE BPMV.

DTC CHART TEST DESCRIPTION:

NUMBER(S) BELOW REFER TO CIRCLED NUMBER(S) ON THE DIAGNOSTIC CHART.

1. CHECKS IF THE ABS/SOLENOID FUSE, OR THE FUSIBLE LINK IS OPEN. 2. CHECK FOR VOLTAGE AT THE FUSE. 3. CHECKS FOR VOLTAGE AT THE EBCM/EBTCM. 4. CHECKS FOR A SHORT TO GROUND IN CKT 102, OR CKT 342. 5. CHECKS FOR AN INTERNAL SHORT IN THE BPMV. 6. CHECKS IF THE SHORT IS IN THE EBCM/EBTCM.

#### DIAGNOSTIC AIDS:

POSSIBLE CAUSES -

- INTERMITTENT SHORT TO GROUND IN CKT 342, OR 102 IF A LESABRE. - CORRODED OR DAMAGED CONNECTORS.

1. CHECKS CONDITION OF EBCM/EBTCM TO BPMV CONNECTOR AND FOR PRESENCE OF BRAKE FLUID IN THE EBCM/EBTCM.

2. CHECKS THE INTEGRITY OF THE AFFECTED VALVE SOLENOID CIRCUITRY INTERNAL TO THE BPMV, AND THE VALVE SOLENOID COIL.

3. CHECKS FOR SOLENOID CIRCUIT SHORT TO GROUND (BPMV CASE).

4. CHECKS FOR CONTINUED DTC SETTING AFTER VALIDATING THAT THE CIRCUITRY AND THE SOLENOID VALVES ARE GOOD. IF DTC RESETS, THE EBCM/EBTCM IS LIKELY MALFUNCTIONING.
