Circuit/System Description
The electronic brake control module (EBCM) monitors the battery voltage level available for system operation. A low voltage condition prevents the system from operating properly.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The ignition is ON.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
One of the following conditions exists for 0.5 seconds, or 5 seconds if the engine is cranking:
| • | The EBCM detects that the battery voltage is less than 9.7 V, and the vehicle speed is greater than 0 km/h. |
| • | The EBCM detects that the battery voltage is less than 8.45 V, regardless of vehicle speed. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The antilock brake system (ABS), traction control system (TCS), and vehicle stability enhancement system (VSES) are disabled. |
| • | The electronic brake force distribution (EBD) is disabled, if the battery voltage is less than 8.45 V. |
| • | The ABS, traction off, and vehicle dynamics caution (VDC) warning indicators turn ON. |
| • | The BRAKE warning indicator turns ON, if the battery voltage is less than 8.45 V. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The DTC will pass when the condition for setting the DTC is no longer present. |
| • | The EBCM clears a history DTC when the DTC does not fail in 100 consecutive ignition cycles. |
Diagnostic Aids
A low voltage DTC in multiple modules indicates a concern in the charging system.

Circuit/System Verification
- Engine running, accessories OFF, measure and record the battery voltage at the battery terminals. The voltage should be between 12.6 and 15.0 V.
- Observe the scan tool EBCM Battery Voltage Signal parameter. The reading should be between 12.6 and 15.0 Volts.
| ⇒ | If not within the specified range, refer to Charging System Test. |
Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the EBCM.
- Ignition OFF and scan tool disconnected, open and close the driver door, and wait 30 seconds. Test for less than 5 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 16 and ground.
- Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminals listed below and ground.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the EBCM.
| ⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance. |
| • | Terminal 1 |
| • | Terminal 32 |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. |
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.

*The scan tool will not communicate with the CCM if the battery voltage is 0 V on the circuit. | |||
Circuit/System Description
The rear differential clutch control module (CCM) monitors the voltage level available for system operation. A low voltage condition prevents the system from operating properly.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The ignition is ON.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The CCM detects that the battery voltage is less than 9 V for 100 msec.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The all-wheel drive is disabled.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The DTC passes when the condition for the DTC is no longer present. |
| • | A history DTC is cleared when low voltage is not detected in 40 consecutive drive cycles. |

Circuit/System Verification
- Engine running, accessories OFF, measure and record the battery voltage at the battery terminals. The voltage should be between 12.6 and 15.0 V.
- Observe the scan tool CCM Battery Volts parameter. The reading should be between 12.6 and 15.0 Volts.
| ⇒ | If not within the specified range, refer to Charging System Test. |
Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connectors at the CCM.
- Ignition OFF and scan tool disconnected, open and close the driver door, and wait 30 seconds. Test for less than 5 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 3 X1 and ground.
- Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 6 X1 and ground.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the CCM.
| ⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance. |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. |
