DTC Descriptor
DTC C0201 00: Antilock Brake System (ABS) Enable Relay Contact Circuit
DTC C0201 04: Antilock Brake System (ABS) Enable Relay Contact Circuit Open
DTC C0201 0E: Antilock Brake System (ABS) Enable Relay Contact Circuit Resistance Below Threshold
Circuit/System Description
The solenoid relay, located within the electronic brake control module (EBCM), supplies battery voltage to all of the valve solenoids.
Conditions for Running the DTC
• | Ignition voltage is greater than 9.5 volts. |
• | The solenoid relay is commanded ON. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
One or more of the following conditions exists:
• | The EBCM detects an open in the battery positive voltage circuit to the solenoid valve relay. |
• | The EBCM detects a stuck open solenoid valve relay or an open circuit between the solenoid valve relay and solenoid valves. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
• | The EBCM disables the antilock brake system (ABS)/traction control system (TCS)/dynamic rear proportion (DRP) for the duration of the ignition cycle. |
• | A DIC message and/or a warning message may be displayed. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
• | The condition for setting the DTC is no longer present. |
• | The EBCM automatically clears the history DTC when a current DTC is not detected in 100 consecutive drive cycles. |

Circuit/System Verification
Ignition ON, observe the scan tool EBCM Battery Voltage Signal parameter. The reading should be battery voltage.
Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the EBCM.
- Test for less than 2 ohm of resistance between the ground terminals 38 and 13 to ground.
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuits for an open/high resistance. |
- Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ terminals 25 and 1 and ground.
⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuits for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. |
- If all circuits test normal, replace the EBCM.
