Diagnostic Instructions
| • | Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using the diagnostic procedure. |
| • | Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic approach. |
| • | Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provides an overview of each diagnostic category. |
DTC Descriptor
DTC C0899 : Device Voltage LowCircuit/System Description
The electronic brake control module (EBCM) monitors the ignition voltage level available for system operation. A low voltage condition prevents the system from operating properly.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | The vehicle speed is greater than 8 km/h (5 mph). |
| • | The system relay is commanded ON. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | During initialization or when the system is inactive, the system voltage is less than 10.8 volts. |
| • | During the system operation, the system voltage is less than 9.0 volts. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The EBCM disables the ABS for the duration of the ignition cycle. |
| • | The TC indicator turns ON. |
| • | The ABS indicator turns ON. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The condition for the DTC is no longer present and the DTC is cleared with a scan tool. |
| • | The EBCM automatically clears the history DTC when a current DTC is not detected in 100 consecutive drive cycles. |

Circuit/System Testing
- Measure the voltage at the battery terminals.
- With scan tool read the ignition voltage in the EBCM data list. Verify that battery terminal voltage and ignition voltage readings do not differ more than 1 volt.
- Go to Battery Inspection/Test and Charging System Test .
| ⇒ | If more than 1 volt test the ground circuit of the EBCM for high resistance or replace the EBCM. |
