DTC Descriptors
DTC C0131 00: ABS Pressure CircuitDTC C0131 3A: Pressure Circuit Incorrect Component Installed
Circuit/System Description
The electronic brake control module (EBCM) uses input from the brake pressure sensor for more accurate control during a vehicle stability enhancement system (VSES) event.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | Ignition ON. |
| • | Ignition voltage is greater than 10 volts. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
C0131 00
| • | Sensor supply voltage is less than 4.5 volts or greater than 5.3 volts for more than 1 sec. |
| • | Sensor signal voltage is less than 0.12 volts or greater than 3.2 volts for more than 1 sec. |
C0131 3A
EBCM has been replaced and the calibration to the brake pressure sensor is outside of programed range.
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 the DTC is no longer present. |
| • | The EBCM clears the history DTC when a current DTC is not detected in 100 consecutive drive cycles. |
Diagnostic Aids
A DTC C0131 can set if the ECU is loosely attached to the hydraulic unit. The mountings should be checked for the proper torque.
