The electronic brake control module (EBCM) disables the traction control when other electronic control modules set DTCs for components that affect the operation of the traction control system (TCS).
• | The ignition is ON. |
• | Ignition voltage is greater than 8 volts. |
The engine control module (ECM) or body control module (BCM) diagnoses a condition preventing the engine control portion of the traction control function and sends a high speed GMLAN serial data message to the EBCM indicating that torque reduction is not allowed. The ECM or BCM will typically set a DTC and the EBCM will set DTC C0561.
• | The EBCM disables the TCS while the DTC is current. |
• | The traction control off indicator turns ON. |
• | The driver information center (DIC) displays the TRACTION SYSTEM OFF message. |
• | The antilock brake system (ABS) remains functional. |
• | The condition for setting the DTC is no longer present. |
• | The EBCM automatically clears the history DTC when a current DTC is not detected in 100 consecutive drive cycles. |
This DTC is for information only. As an aid to the technician, this DTC indicates that there are no problems in the ABS/TCS.
