Circuit Description
The system relay is energized when the ignition is ON. The system relay supplies voltage to the solenoid valves and the pump motor. This voltage is referred to as the system voltage.
The electronic brake control module (EBCM) controls each solenoid valve by grounding the solenoid.
The EBCM controls the pump motor by grounding the control circuit. The pump serves 2 purposes:
| • | Transfers brake fluid from the brake calipers to the master cylinder reservoir during pressure decrease events |
| • | Transfers brake fluid from the master cylinder reservoir to the brake calipers during pressure increase events |
DTC Descriptors
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTCs:
| • | DTC C1242 Pump Motor Circuit Open |
| • | DTC C1243 Pump Motor Stalled |
Conditions for Running the DTC
C1242
| • | The system voltage is greater than 8 volts. |
| • | The system relay is ON. |
| • | The pump motor is commanded OFF. |
C1243
| • | The pump motor is ON for at least 0.3 seconds. |
| • | The system relay is ON. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
C1242
The voltage across the pump motor is between 1.7-10.2 volts for 2 seconds.
C1243
The pump motor is stalled or turning slowly.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
If equipped, the following actions occur:
| • | The EBCM disables the antilock brake system (ABS)/traction control system (TCS)/vehicle stability enhancement system (VSES) for the duration of the ignition cycle. |
| • | The dynamic rear proportioning (DRP) does not function optimally. |
| • | The ABS indicator turns ON. |
| • | The Traction Off indicator turns ON. |
| • | The driver information system (DIC) displays the Service Stability System message. |
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. |
Diagnostic Aids
The pump motor is integral to the brake pressure modulator valve (BPMV). The pump motor is not serviceable.

Does the DTC reset? | Go to Step 3 | Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems |
Does the test lamp illuminate? | Go to Step 4 | Go to Step 5 | |
4 | Inspect for poor connections at the pump motor harness pigtail connector of the BPMV. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 8 | Go to Step 6 |
5 | Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the EBCM. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 8 | Go to Step 7 |
6 | Replace the BPMV. Refer to Brake Pressure Modulator Valve Replacement . Did you complete the repair? | Go to Step 8 | -- |
7 | Replace the EBCM. Refer to Control Module References in Computer/Integrating Systems for replacement, setup, and programming. Did you complete the replacement? | Go to Step 8 | -- |
