Circuit Description

The pump motor is contained within the brake pressure modulator valve (BPMV). The pump motor ground is supplied through terminal 15 of the electronic brake control module (EBCM).

Conditions for Setting the DTC

DTC C0017 can only be set with the key in the ON position, the pump motor is OFF, and the EBCM detected a short to ground on the pump motor circuit.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
    • The solenoid relay opens, removing power from the pump motor and solenoids.
    • DTC C0017 is stored.
    • ABS disabled, ABS warning lamp is turned ON.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC
    • If the conditions that set the DTC C0017 are no longer present, the DTC may be cleared by using the proper scan tool.
    • The DTC that has not occurred in 100 drive cycles will be cleared from the history data.

Diagnostic Aids

Typical causes of DTC C0017.

  1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
  2. Disconnect the EBCM harness from the EBCM.
  3. Remove the EBCM from the BPMV.
  4. Inspect the EBCM to the BPMV connector for conditions such as damage, corrosion, poor terminal contact, or the presence of brake fluid.

Were the terminals and connector OK, and the cavity free of brake fluid, damage, and corrosion?

  1. If damage and/or corrosion is present, replace the EBCM and/or the BPMV as necessary.
  2. If the brake fluid is present, replace both the EBCM and the BPMV.

  1. Connect an ohmmeter to terminal 1 of the BPMV and then to body ground. Note the resistance value.
  2. Connect an ohmmeter to terminal 2 of the BPMV and then to body ground. Note the resistance value.

Was the voltage on all 3 terminals above the specified value?
