Antilock Brake System Schematics

Circuit Description

The pump motor is an integral part of the BPMV, while the pump motor relay is integral to the EBCM. The pump motor relay is not engaged during normal system operation. When an ABS/TCS/Active Handling (if equipped with RPO JL4) operation is required, the EBCM activates the pump motor relay and battery power is provided to the pump motor.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

DTC C1217 will set anytime the pump motor relay is commanded on and the pump relay voltage is less than 8 volts, and ignition voltage is greater than 10.5 volts.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

ABS/TCS/Active Handling (if equipped with RPO JL4) are disabled.

    • Indicators that turn on:
       - ABS indicator
       - Car Icon (TCS indicator)
    • Messages displayed on the DIC:
       - Service ABS
       - Service Traction System
       - Service Active HNDLG (if equipped with Active Handling RPO JL4)

Conditions for Clearing the DTC
    • Condition for DTC is no longer present and scan tool clear DTC function is used.
    • Fifty ignition cycles have passed with no DTCs detected.

Diagnostic Aids
    • It is very important that a thorough inspection of the wiring and connectors be performed. Failure to carefully and fully inspect wiring and connectors may result in misdiagnosis, causing part replacement with reappearance of the malfunction.
    • If an intermittent malfunction exists refer to Intermittents and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems.
