Circuit Description
Each of the 4 brake circuits on the vehicle passes through a separate air pressure modulator valve. The EBCM uses each modulator valve to hold, decrease, or increase the pressure in an individual brake circuit.
Conditions for Running the Diagnostic Fault
The ignition is ON.
Conditions for Setting the Diagnostic Fault
The EBCM detects an open or shorted hold or exhaust solenoid or open or shorted circuitry.
Action Taken When the Diagnostic Fault Sets
| • | The ABS indicator turns ON. |
| • | The ABS function to the left rear wheel is disabled. |
| • | The EBCM illuminates the LFT, RER and MOD LEDs. |
Conditions for Clearing the Diagnostic Fault
| • | Repair the condition responsible for illuminating the status lamps. |
| • | Perform the Status Lamps Reset Procedure. |
Diagnostic Aids
Thoroughly inspect connections or circuitry that may cause an intermittent malfunction. Refer to the following:

Does the resistance measure within the specified range? | 3.5-5 ohms | Go to Step 4 | Go to Step 6 | ||||||||
4 | Use a DMM in order to measure the resistance between the modulator exhaust control circuit and the modulator supply voltage circuit. Does the resistance measure within the specified range? | 3.5-5 ohms | Go to Step 5 | Go to Step 6 | ||||||||
5 | Use a DMM in order to measure the resistance between the modulator exhaust control circuit and the modulator hold control circuit. Does the resistance measure within the specified range? | 7.0-10 ohms | Go to Step 9 | Go to Step 6 | ||||||||

Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 11 | Go to Step 7 | ||||||||
7 | Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the air pressure modulator valve. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 11 | Go to Step 8 | ||||||||
8 | Replace the air pressure modulator valve. Refer to Front Brake Pressure Modulator Valve Replacement or Rear Brake Pressure Modulator Valve Replacement . Did you complete the replacement? | -- | Go to Step 11 | -- | ||||||||
9 | Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector for the EBCM. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 11 | Go to Step 10 | ||||||||
