Circuit Description

The PCM monitors various parameters and will not allow traction control operation if any parameter falls below a specified value.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The ignition is ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The PCM detects a malfunction and then causes TCS shut down until the malfunction has been corrected.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

If equipped, the following actions occur:

    • A DTC C0240 is stored.
    • The TCS is disabled.
    • The TRAC OFF indicator is turned on.
    • If the TCS is again allowed to function, the indicator will be turned off but the DTC will be stored.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC
    • The condition for the DTC is no longer present and the DTC is cleared with a scan tool.
    • The electronic brake control module (EBCM) automatically clears the history DTC when a current DTC is not detected in 100 consecutive drive cycles.

Diagnostic Aids
    • Thoroughly inspect the wiring and the connectors. Failure to carefully and fully inspect the wiring and the connectors can result in misdiagnosis. Misdiagnosis may cause replacement of parts without repairing the malfunction.
    • If an intermittent malfunction exists, refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Electrical Systems.
