Circuit Description

The EBCM applies the ground needed for pump motor activation. The low side of the pump motor has a feedback circuit to the EBCM. When the pump motor is commanded off, feedback voltage is high. When the pump motor is winding down after being commanded on and then off, feedback voltage is low due to the back-EMF generated in the motor windings as the rotor turns. The feedback voltage then rises correspondingly as the rotor slows to a stop and the back-EMF diminishes.

Conditions for Running the DTC

    • The ignition is ON.
    • The vehicle speed is greater than 6 km/h (4 mph).

Conditions for Setting the DTC

C0267

The EBCM detects low feedback voltage from the pump motor 2 seconds after the pump motor is commanded off.

C0268

The EBCM detects high feedback voltage from the pump motor 5 milliseconds after the pump motor is commanded off.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

    • The ABS indicator is commanded on.
    • The ABS is disabled for the remainder of the ignition cycle.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

    • The condition(s) responsible for setting the DTC is no longer present.
    • A scan tool is used in order to clear the DTC.

Diagnostic Aids

Thoroughly inspect connections or circuitry that may cause an intermittent malfunction. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections , Connector Repairs and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Test Description

The number below refers to the step number on the diagnostic table.

  1. This step tests if the EBCM is capable of activating the pump motor. Replace the EBCM if DTC C0267 will not clear while the test lamp is connected. DTC C0268 may set while this test is performed even if the EBCM is functioning properly.

  1. Turn the ignition OFF.
  2. Disconnect the 2-way pump motor pigtail connector from the EBCM.
  3. Use the connector test adaptor kit J 35616-A in order to connect a test lamp between the pump motor circuits at the pump motor connector of the EBCM.
  4. Turn the ignition ON.
  5. Use the scan tool in order to command the ABS pump motor On and Off.

Does the test lamp illuminate and turn off with each command?
