Circuit Description
The system relay, located within the electronic brake control module (EBCM), supplies battery voltage to all of the valve solenoids and to the precharge pump motor. When the relay contacts close, the EBCM monitors the voltage supplied to the valve solenoids and compares this voltage to monitored ignition voltage.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC C0201 Antilock Brake System (ABS) Enable Relay Contact Circuit
Conditions for Running the DTC
The ignition is ON.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
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. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
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. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
The Conditions for Setting the DTC are no longer present and you use the scan tool Clear DTCs function.
Diagnostic Aids
Refer back to the diagnostic table, steps 3-7, if this DTC continues to set intermittently.

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 |

Important: Following the EBCM replacement, perform the set-up procedure for the EBCM and perform the Yaw Rate Reference Table Reset Procedure. Use the scan tool to perform the Tire Size Calibration procedure. Replace the EBCM. Refer to Control Module References in Computer/Integrating Systems. Did you complete the replacement? | -- | Go to Step 7 | -- |
6 |
Important: Following the EBCM replacement, perform the set-up procedure for the EBCM and perform the Yaw Rate Reference Table Reset Procedure. Use the scan tool to perform the Tire Size Calibration procedure. Replace the EBCM and the BPMV. Refer to Control Module References in Computer/Integrating Systems. Did you complete the replacements? | -- | Go to Step 7 | -- |
