DTC Descriptor
DTC C0192 00: Four Wheel Drive (4WD) Reference Accelerometer Circuit
DTC C0192 1A: Four Wheel Drive (4WD) Bias Level Out of Range
Circuit/System Description
The electronic brake control module (EBCM) supplies a 5-volt reference to the longitudinal accelerometer. When the vehicle is not moving, or is being driven at a constant steady speed, longitudinal acceleration is 0 m/sec/sec, and the longitudinal
accelerometer signal voltage is very near 2.5 volts. This is referred to as longitudinal accelerometer bias voltage. Vehicle acceleration or deceleration causes the longitudinal accelerometer signal voltage to increase or decrease.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | Ignition voltage is greater than 8 volts. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
C0192 00
| • | The longitudinal sensor signal voltage is below 0.18 volt or above 4.84 volts for 30 milliseconds. |
| • | The longitudinal sensor does not pass an internal self check test when the ignition is turned ON. |
C0192 1A
| • | The longitudinal sensor is self calibrated for temperature changes. |
| • | If the calibration bias exceeds 0.5 g the DTC is set. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The EBCM disables the Antilock Brake System (ABS)/Traction Control System (TCS) for the duration of the ignition cycle. |
| • | The ABS indicator turns ON. |
| • | The driver information center (DIC) displays the ABS FAULT message. |
| • | The DIC displays the TRACTION FAILED message. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The condition for setting the DTC is no longer present and the DTC is cleared with a scan tool. |
| • | The EBCM automatically clears the history DTC when a current DTC is not detected in 100 consecutive drive cycles. |

Circuit/System Verification
With scan tool installed drive the vehicle in a straight line at a speed greater than 30 km/h (19 mph) and decelerate the vehicle to a stop several times. The scan tool Longitudinal Accelerometer Sensor Signal parameter should show a change
in M/S² output in sequence to the vehicle deceleration.
Circuit/System Testing
- Turn OFF the ignition. Disconnect the longitudinal accelerometer harness connector. Turn ON the ignition. Verify voltage between 4.4 and 5.6 on the LNG rate sensor terminal B 5-volt reference circuit.
| ⇒ | If voltage is below 5.4, test for an open or a short to ground on the LNG rate sensor circuit. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM assembly. |
- Turn OFF the ignition. At the longitudinal accelerometer harness connector, connect a test lamp between the LNG low reference circuit terminal D and battery positive voltage. Verify the test lamp illuminates.
| ⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate check for an open in the LGN low reference circuit. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM assembly. |
- Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the LNG rate sensor 5-volt reference circuit terminal B and the longitudinal accelerometer signal circuit terminal A. Turn ON the ignition and observe the longitudinal accelerometer parameter.
| ⇒ | If the scan tool displays greater than 1.5g, replace the longitudinal position sensor. |
| ⇒ | If the scan tool displays less than 1.5g, test for an open or short to ground on the longitudinal accelerometer signal circuit. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM assembly. |
