The system relay, located within the electronic brake control module (EBCM), supplies battery voltage to all of the solenoid valves. When the relay contacts close, the EBCM monitors the voltage supplied to the solenoid valves and compares this voltage to monitored ignition voltage.
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC C0201 Antilock Brake System (ABS) Enable Relay Contact Circuit
The ignition is ON.
Either of the following conditions may cause the DTC to set:
• | The EBCM detects that the voltage supplied to the valve solenoids is less than 65 percent of the monitored ignition voltage for 50 milliseconds. |
• | The EBCM detects that the relay contacts do not open when the relay is not energized. |
If equipped, the following actions occur:
• | The EBCM disables the ABS/traction control system (TCS)/vehicle stability enhancement system (VSES)/dynamic rear proportion (DRP). |
• | The ABS indicator turns ON. |
• | The stability indicator turns ON. |
• | The brake warning indicator turns ON. |
The Conditions for Setting the DTC are no longer present and you use the scan tool Clear DTCs function.
Refer back to the diagnostic table, steps 3-7, if this DTC continues to set intermittently.
The number below refers to the step number on the diagnostic table.

Does the DTC reset? | -- | Go to Step 3 | Go to Diagnostic Aids |
Does the resistance measure within the specified range? | 0.3-1 ohms | Go to Step 4 | Go to Step 6 | |
4 | Use a DMM in order to measure the resistance between the high side of the pump motor and a good ground. Does the resistance measure less than the specified value? | OL | Go to Step 6 | Go to Step 5 |
