Circuit/System Description

The electronic parking brake control module (EPB) monitors the system voltage circuit to determine if the voltage is within the normal operating range. When the EPB detects that the system voltage is below 9.2 V or above 16 V, the DTC C0800 sets.

Conditions for Running the DTC

    • Ignition is ON.
    • Engine ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

C0800 03

    • The EPB detects that the system voltage is less than 9.2 V.
    • The above condition is present for 7 seconds.

C0800 07

    • The EPB detects that the system voltage is greater than 16 V.
    • The above condition is present for 7 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The Driver Information Center (DIC)displays the SERVICE PARKING BRAKE message.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

The system voltage returns to normal operating range.

Diagnostic Aids

    • A high or low voltage DTC set in multiple modules indicates a concern in the charging system.
    • A possible cause of this DTC could be overcharging with a battery charger or jump starting.
    • A high or low voltage value in multiple modules indicates a concern in the charging system.

Circuit/System Verification

  1. Engine running, measure and record the voltage at the battery terminals.
  2. Verify that the battery voltage is 12.6-15.5 V.
  3. If the battery voltage is not within the specified range, refer to Charging System Test

Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the electronic park brake module(EPB).
  2. Ignition OFF, test for less than 3 Ω between the ground circuit terminal H and ground.
  3. If greater than the specified value, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  4. Ignition ON, verify a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal A and ground.
  5. If the test lamp does not illuminate , test the circuit for an open/high resistance.
  6. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the EPB.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
