Circuit Description
DTC 1263 identifies an ABS motor circuit that is shorted shorts to voltage or an ABS motor that has low or no resistance. The malfunction will cause one of the following conditions to occur:
| • | The ABS motor will not be controlled at the commanded current rate. |
| • | The ABS motor will turn in the opposite direction or not at all. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
DTC C1263 can set only when the ABS motor is commanded off.
A malfunction exists if The EBCM/EBCTM detects an out of range voltage on either of the right front ABS motor circuits.
An out of range voltage on either circuit indicates one of the following conditions:
| • | A circuit shorts to voltage. |
| • | An ABS brake motor shorts internally. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | A malfunction DTC stores. |
| • | The ABS/ETS/TCS disables. |
| • | The amber ABS/ETS/TCS warning indicator(s) turn on. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists and the Scan Tool Clear DTCs function is used. |
| • | 100 drive cycles pass with no DTC(s) detected. |
Diagnostic Aids
Use the Scan Tool Manual Control function in order to exercise ABS motor movement of affected channel in both directions while applying light pressure on the brake pedal.
An intermittent malfunction may be indicated if erratic or jumpy brake pedal movement is detected while performing an apply or release function of the ABS monitor.
The following conditions may cause an intermittent malfunction:
| • | A poor connection |
| • | Rubbed-through wire insulation |
| • | A broken wire inside the insulation |
If the malfunction is not current, use the following procedure to pinpoint an intermittent malfunction in the motor circuitry or connections:
- Wiggle the wires of the affected channel.
- Inspect if the DTC resets.
Use the enhanced diagnostic function of the Scan Tool in order to measure the frequency of the malfunction. Refer to the Scan Tool manual for the procedure.
Thoroughly inspect any circuitry that may cause the intermittent complaint for the following conditions:
| • | Backed out terminals |
| • | Improper mating |
| • | Broken locks |
| • | Improperly formed or damaged terminals |
| • | Poor terminal-to-wiring connections |
| • | Physical damage to the wiring harness |
Clear the DTCs after completing the diagnosis. Test drive the vehicle for three drive cycles in order to verify that the DTC does not reset. Use the following procedure in order to complete one drive cycle:
- Start the vehicle.
- Drive the vehicle over 16 km/h (10 mph).
- Stop the vehicle.
- Turn the ignition to the OFF position.
Important: Zero the J 39200 test leads before making any resistance measurements. Refer to the J 39200 user's manual.
