Circuit Description

The pump motor circuit is integral to the BPMV. The EBCM microprocessor energizes the relay within the EBCM in order to supply the battery voltage to the high side of the pump motor. The EBCM microprocessor grounds the low side of the pump motor when activation of the pump motor is required.

Conditions for Setting the DTC (C0267)

    • The EBCM internal relay is on
    • The pump motor is off
    • Low voltage is present from the low side of the pump motor when high voltage is expected

Conditions for Setting the DTC (C0268)

    • Vehicle speed is 13 km/h (8 mph)
    • The EBCM internal relay is on
    • The pump motor is commanded ON and then OFF
    • High voltage exists from the low side of the pump motor for 100 ms when the voltage is expected to be low

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

    • The ABS indicator lamp turns on
    • The ABS disables

DTCs C0267/C0268 are ignition latched DTCs, which indicates that the above actions remain true until the ignition switch is turned to OFF (even if the cause of the DTC is intermittent).

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

    • Repair the conditions responsible for setting the DTC
    • Use the Scan Tool Clear DTCs function

Diagnostic Aids

The pump motor is integral with the BPMV. Do not service the pump motor separately. A poor power/ground connection at the 2-way EBCM connector or the 2-way pump motor harness from the EBCM to the pump motor can cause a DTC C0267. A seized pump motor, shorted pump motor windings or a poor power/ground at the 2-way EBCM connector can cause a DTC C0268. Replace the EBCM or the BPMV if the following tests show that the pump motor EBCM internal circuits have failed.

Important: Reset the J 39200 test leads to zero prior to making any resistance measurements. Refer to the J 39200 in the user's manual.

Test Description

The numbers below refer to the steps in the diagnostic table:

  1. This step checks for an open pump motor circuit. The pump motor circuit resistance should not be above the 0.3 ohms. Reset the J 39200 test leads to zero prior to making this low resistance measurement.

  2. This step determines the resistance of the EBCM ground circuit.

  3. This step determines the ignition voltage available to the EBCM.

  1. Turn the ignition to OFF.
  2. Disconnect the 2-way pump motor pigtail connector from the EBCM.
  3. Inspect the connector and the wiring for damage or corrosion that could result in an open circuit between the pump motor and the EBCM.

Is the connector and the wiring in good condition?

    • Inspect the 2-way EBCM harness connector for poor terminal contact or corrosion. Inspect CKT 1142 and CKT 150 for damage that could result in an open circuit. Repair any evident damage. Replace the terminals if poor contact or corrosion exists.
    • Reconnect all the connectors.
    • Using the Scan Tool , clear all the DTCs.
    • Test drive vehicle above 16  km/h (10 mph).

Does the DTC set as a current DTC?
