Circuit Description
The system relay is energized when the ignition is ON. The system relay supplies voltage to the solenoid valves and the pump motor. This voltage is referred to as the system voltage.
The electronic brake control module (EBCM) controls each solenoid valve by grounding the solenoid.
The EBCM controls the pump motor by grounding the control circuit. The pump serves 2 purposes:
| • | Transfers brake fluid from the brake calipers to the master cylinder reservoir during pressure decrease events. |
| • | Transfers brake fluid from the master cylinder reservoir to the brake calipers during pressure increase events. |
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC C1217 Pump Motor Shorted to Ground
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | The pump motor has been commanded OFF for 1 second. |
| • | The system voltage is greater than 9.36 volts. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
One of the following conditions exists for 0.2 seconds:
| • | The voltage across the pump motor is greater than 10.2 volts. |
| • | The pump motor low side voltage is less than 2.7 volts. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The EBCM disables the ABS for the duration of the ignition cycle. |
| • | The ABS indicator turns ON. |
| • | The DRP does not function optimally. |
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
| • | This DTC determines if there is a short in the pump motor control circuit. |
| • | The pump motor is integral to the BPMV. The pump motor is not serviceable. |
