DTC Descriptors

DTC C0898 00: Controlled Shutdown Failure

Circuit/System Description

The Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) monitors two different blocks of memory to determine it's capabilty to control the system shutdown process.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The ignition is ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
    • Keep alive voltage regulator not functional.
    • Processor loses complete power (Ignition and Battery).

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
    • The EBCM disables the ABS/ Traction Control System (TCS)/ Vehicle Stability Enhancement System (VSES) 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 setting 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 Verification
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the EBCM.
  2. Test for less than 1 ohm between the ground circuit terminal 38 and ground.
    3. ⇒If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  3. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit Terminal 25 and ground.
    4. ⇒If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
  4. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the Ignition circuit Terminal 14 and ground.
    5. ⇒If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
  5. If all circuits test normal, replace EBCM.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
