Diagnostic Instructions
    • Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
    • Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
    •  Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

DTC Descriptors

DTC C0292 07: VSES Combination Sensor Circuit Voltage Above or Below Threshold

Circuit/System Description

The electronic brake control module (EBCM) supplies a ignition voltage to the yaw rate sensor/lateral acceleration sensor, and the steering angle sensor. The sensor supply voltage is monitored via an internal feedback circuit to the EBCM microprocessor.

Conditions for Running the DTC
    • Ignition ON.
    • Ignition voltage is greater than 10 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The EBCM detects that the sensor supply voltage level is less than 4.75 volts or greater than 5.25 volts.

Actions Taken when the DTC Sets
    • The EBCM may disable antilock brake system (ABS), traction control system (TCS), and StabiliTrak for the duration of the ignition cycle.
    • A DIC message and/or a warning indicator may be displayed.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC
    • The condition for the DTC is no longer present.
    • The EBCM clears the history DTC when a current DTC is not detected in 40 consecutive drive cycles.

Circuit/System Testing
  1. Ignition ON, verify that DTCs U1826, U1827, or C0292 are not set.
    2. ⇒If any of the DTCs are set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle
  2. Ignition OFF, disconnect the yaw/lateral acceleration sensor connector.
  3. Ignition OFF for 5 minutes, test for less than 10 ohms between the low reference circuit terminal 6 and ground.
    4. ⇒If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the EBCM.
  4. Ignition ON, test for 11.75-12.25 volts between the 12-volt reference circuit terminal 1 and ground.
    5. ⇒If less than the specified range, test the 12-volt reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.
    ⇒If greater than the specified range, test the 12-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.
  5. If all circuits test normal, replace the Yaw Rate/Lateral Acceleration Sensor.
