Data Display
The scan tool displays the module data. This information assists in
determining whether the module is operating properly, and whether the module
is sending or receiving the proper data to and from a particular system.
The module uses data received from other systems in order to carry
out some functions. If the module receives the incorrect data from
another system, the module may function improperly. Use the scan tool
in order to review the data from the systems that interact with the
module.
Displayed Input/Output Status
The scan tool also displays the module input/output status. Select the
module input/output status display in order to display the data and determine
if the switched inputs/outputs may be properly interpreted. The display
also indicates if the input/output has changed states. For example,
when a door is closed, the scan tool displays the input status of the
door ajar switch as INACTIVE. When the door is open, the scan tool
reads ACTIVE. Use this type of information when diagnosing a malfunction
associated with a particular module input or an input that is shared
with another system.
Control Outputs
Use a scan tool in order to control the module output functions. When
the module output control is selected, the scan tool can command the module
to turn an output on or off. This feature may be used in order to determine
if the module is able to control an output regardless of the inputs
or any specific program instructions. Once a test is selected, the
scan tool will command the module to energize the selected output.
The scan tool then displays the status of the selected output. The
displayed information represents only what was module commanded, not
what action was actually taken. Verify that the module is performing each
of the selected output functions.
Scan Tool Menus
Refer to the Scan Tool Manual for complete information on scan tool
diagnostics.

Snapshot
In this test mode, the scan tool captures the data listed in the data
displays before and after a snapshot-triggering condition which may or
may not set a DTC.
Special Functions
In this test mode, the scan tool may be used in order to perform functional
tests on the system which help verify proper operation. Malfunction conditions
may be further identified by testing and observing the test results. You
must clear any DTCs before any tests in Special Functions may be performed.
The Special Functions are grouped in the following manner:
• | Steering Position Sensor Test |
The Special Functions are detailed below.
Solenoid Test-Pressure Hold
This test activates the selected wheel circuit inlet valve, placing
the valve in the pressure hold position. When the valve is in the pressure
hold position, the valve will not allow master cylinder pressure to be
delivered to the hydraulic wheel circuit. This is done under actual operating
conditions when the EBTCM determines that the wheel is moving too slowly.
The EBTCM holds additional master cylinder pressure from the hydraulic
wheel circuit in an attempt to allow the circuit to rotate at an appropriate
speed. The scan tool commands the valve to close. This should allow the
technician to spin the wheel even though an assistant is applying pressure
to the brake pedal. Perform the following test:
- Turn OFF the ignition.
- Connect a scan tool to the data link connector (DLC).
- Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
- Raise the vehicle. Ensure that all of the wheels are about 15 cm
(6 in) off of the floor.
- Place the gear selector in the NEUTRAL position.
- Select the Special Functions from the ABS/TCS/ICCS menu.
- Select the Solenoid Test. Have an assistant command Inlet Valve
Solenoid of the appropriate wheel using the scan tool.
- Have the assistant press and hold the brake pedal.
- Attempt to move the wheel being tested by hand. The wheel should
move even though the assistant is applying pressure to the brake pedal. The
front wheels may be difficult to turn by hand, but may be moved if the
system is working properly.
Solenoid Test-Pressure Release
This test activates the selected hydraulic wheel circuit outlet valves,
placing them in the pressure reduce position. When in the pressure reduce
position, the valve will allow wheel caliper pressure to be returned to
the master cylinder circuit. This is done under actual operating conditions
because the EBTCM has determined that the wheel is moving too slowly,
and holding additional master cylinder pressure from it has not allowed
it to rotate at an appropriate speed. The scan tool commands the valves
to these positions which should allow the technician to spin the wheel
even though an assistant is applying pressure to the brake pedal. Perform
the following test:
- Turn OFF the ignition.
- Connect a scan tool to the data link connector (DLC).
- Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
- Raise the vehicle. Ensure that all of the wheels are about 15 cm
(6 in) off of the floor.
- Place the gear selector in the NEUTRAL position.
- Select the Special Functions from the ABS/TCS/ICCS menu.
- Select the Solenoid Test. Have an assistant command the Outlet
Valve Solenoid of the appropriate wheel using the scan tool.
- Have the assistant press and hold the brake pedal.
- Attempt to move the wheel being tested by hand. The wheel should
move even though the assistant is applying pressure to the brake pedal. The
front wheels may be difficult to turn by hand, but may be moved if the
system is working properly.
Automated Bleed
The Automated Bleed mode of the scan tool is used during bleeding of
the ABS System. Refer to
Antilock Brake System Automated Bleed Procedure
.
Automated Test
This test cycles each valve solenoid and the pump motor (as well as
the necessary relays) in order to verify component operation. This test
is identical to the Initialization Sequence. If a malfunction is detected,
the EBTCM will set DTCs. The DTCs will be displayed upon completion of
the test. Perform the following test:
- Turn OFF the ignition.
- Connect a scan tool to the data link connector (DLC).
- Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
- Select the Special Functions from the ABS/TCS/ICCS menu.
- Select the Automated Test.
- Run the Automated Test.
- Record any DTCs that were set.
Lamp/Message(s) Test
This test controls the following indicator lamps and DIC messages:
• | TRACTION ENGAGED MESSAGE |
• | SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM MESSAGE |
• | STABILITY ENGAGED MESSAGE |
TCS Test
This test runs the pump motor in order to apply fluid pressure to the
front wheel circuits.
Perform the following test. This test does NOT require an assistant:
- Turn OFF the ignition.
- Connect a scan tool to the data link connector (DLC).
- Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
- Raise the vehicle. Ensure that all of the wheels are about 15 cm
(6 in) off of the floor.
- Select the Special Functions from the ABS/TCS/ICCS menu.
- Select the TCS Test.
- Command the TCS Test ON with the scan tool. The pump motor will
turn on for approximately 25 seconds.
- Attempt to move each front wheel by hand. The wheels should not
move due to the pump motor running and applying pressure to the front wheels.
ICCS2 Data Link Test
This test ensures that the wires are not crossed between the EBTCM and
the CVRSS module. The 2 choices under ICCS2 Data Link Test are the
ICCS2 Data Link Left and the ICCS2 Data Link Right. The ICCS2 Data Link
Test first tests for any EBTCM or CVRSS DTC(s). If any EBTCM or CVRSS
codes are set, then this test will not run. If the test is successful,
the scan tool will display a test complete message. If the wires are crossed
and this test is run, the scan tool will display an electrical malfunction
message.
Steering Position Sensor Test
This test monitors the analog and digital steering angle position. Perform
the following test only after the steering wheel position sensor (SWPS) has
been centered:
- Turn OFF the ignition.
- Connect a scan tool to the data link connector (DLC).
- Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (start the engine).
- Place the steering wheel in the center position.
- Monitor the Stabilitrak Steering Angle Is Centered in the ABS/TCS/ICCS
Data Display (1) Diagnostics, DATA LIST 2. The scan tool will
indicate Yes with the steering wheel centered.
- Drive the vehicle in a straight line for 45 seconds at
24 Km/h (15 mph) while monitoring the scan tool.
- Stop the vehicle and leave the engine running.
- Select the Special Functions from the ABS/TCS/ICCS menu.
- Select the Steering Position Sensor Test.
- While monitoring the test on the scan tool, fully turn the steering
wheel to the left, then fully turn the steering wheel to the right (lock to
lock) 3 times.
- Read the scan tool each time the wheels are straight and the steering
wheel is at the center position. This reading should always be near zero for
the digital and analog display (± 5 degrees of each other).
