Circuit Description

DTC C1286 is an information only DTC. DTC C1286 reflects the status of the command the EBCM/EBTCM issues to illuminate the red BRAKE warning indicator. If another DTC issues a command to illuminate the red BRAKE warning indicator, EEPROM will store DTC C1286 as a history DTC at the conclusion of the ignition cycle.

Diagnostic Aids

The following ABS mechanical DTCs command the red BRAKE warning indicator to illuminate. The DTCs will also cause EEPROM to store DTC C1286 during shutdown:

    • C1238
    • C1241
    • C1242
    • C1246
    • C1251

If the motors are not in their home position, the following electrical DTCs will also command the red BRAKE warning indicator on:
