Circuit Description

Voltage is applied to the normally open inlet valves whenever the main relay is energized.

An inlet valve closes when the EBCM/EBTCM supplies a ground path at the inlet valve control terminal.

The EBCM/EBTCM closes an inlet valve for short periods in order to maintain (hold) or reduce pressure at a particular wheel.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The DTC C1241 sets when the EBCM/EBTCM detects an open or short to ground in the RF inlet valve circuit.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The following actions are taken when the DTC sets:

    • A malfunction DTC is stored
    • The ABS is disabled
    • The ANTILOCK indicator lamp is turned ON.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

The DTC will be cleared under following conditions:

    • Conditions for the malfunction are no longer present. Use the scan tool clear DTCs function.
    • 100 ignition switch key cycles have passed with no malfunctions detected

Diagnostic Aids

Perform a thorough inspection of the wiring and the connectors.

Failure to carefully inspect wiring may result in misdiagnosis. Misdiagnosis may result in part replacement with the reappearance of the malfunction.
