|---|---|---|---|---|
Electronic Control Unit (ECU) Performance | -- | -- | -- | C0550 00 |
Circuit/System Description
The electronic brake control module (EBCM) detects an internal malfunction.
Conditions for Running the MIL/DTC
The ignition switch is in the ON position.
Conditions for Setting the MIL/DTC
An internal EBCM malfunction exists.
Action Taken When the MIL/DTC Sets
One or more of the following actions may occur:
| • | The antilock brake system (ABS) and vehicle stability enhancement system (VSES) are disabled. |
| • | TCS is degraded. |
| • | The ABS/TCS indicators turn ON. |
| • | The red BRAKE Warning indicator turns ON. |
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
| • | The ABS Indicator may remain illuminated after the DTCs are cleared, until the vehicle is driven at speeds greater than 13 km/h (8 mph) and the self test is completed. |
| • | The condition for the DTC is no longer present. |
| • | The EBCM automatically clears the history DTC when a current DTC is not detected in 100 consecutive drive cycles. |
Diagnostic Aids
Verify that the EBCM power and ground circuits are good if the DTC C0550 is stored in history.
