Circuit Description

The solenoid valve coil circuits are supplied with power from the battery when the valve relay is energized. Switched ground is provided by the electronic brake control module (EBCM) to each coil.

This procedure checks whether the left front inlet and outlet valves are functioning.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
    • A valve has failed.
    • A solenoid coil is open or shorted.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The antilock brake system (ABS) is disabled, and the ABS warning lamp is turned ON for the remainder of the ignition cycle. The electronic brake force distribution (EBD) is disabled. If the failure is intermittent, the EBCM will enable the system at the next ignition cycle and set a history DTC.

Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
