Circuit | Short to Ground | Open/High Resistance | Short to Voltage | Signal Performance |
---|---|---|---|---|
B+ | C0899 00 | C0899 00 | -- | -- |
Ground | -- | C0899 00 | -- | -- |

Operating Conditions: Ignition ON Parameter Normal Value: 12.6 Volts | |||
B+ | 0.0 Volts* | 0.0 Volts* | -- |
*The scan tool will not communicate with the EBCM if there is 0 Volts on the circuit. |
The electronic brake control module (EBCM) monitors the voltage available on the battery positive (B+) circuit. A low voltage condition prevents the system from operating properly. If the EBCM detects low voltage on the B+ circuit, DTC C0899 00 will set.
• | The ignition is ON. |
• | The vehicle speed is greater than 3 km/h (1.8 mph) |
One of the following conditions exists:
• | The EBCM detects that the battery voltage is less than 9.5 volts for 10 seconds. |
• | All wheel speed sensor power supplies have low voltage for 1 minute. |
• | The antilock brake system (ABS), traction control system (TCS) and vehicle stability enhancement system (VSES) are disabled. |
• | The dynamic rear proportioning (DRP) is disabled, if the battery voltage is less than 8.5 volts. |
• | The ABS and vehicle dynamics caution (VDC) indicators turn ON. |
• | The BRAKE indicator turns ON, if the battery voltage is less than 8.5 volts. |
• | The driver information center (DIC) displays the SERVICE STABILITRAK and SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL messages. |
• | The DTC will pass when the battery voltage is greater than 9.5 volts for 0.22 second. |
• | The EBCM automatically clears a history DTC when a current DTC is not detected in 100 consecutive ignition cycles. |
• | A low voltage DTC in multiple modules indicates a concern in the charging system. |
• | The warning indicators and DIC messages may turn ON without any DTCs set, if the EBCM detects that the battery voltage is less than 9.5 volts, and the vehicle speed is less than 3 km/h (1.8 mph). |
