DTC Descriptor
DTC C0201: Antilock Brake System (ABS) Enable Relay Contact Circuit
Circuit/System Description
The solenoid relay, located within the electronic brake control module (EBCM), supplies battery voltage to all of the valve solenoids.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | Ignition voltage is greater than 9.5 volts. |
| • | The solenoid relay is commanded ON. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | The EBCM detects an open in the battery positive voltage circuit to the solenoid valve relay. |
| • | The EBCM detects a stuck open solenoid valve relay or an open circuit between the solenoid valve relay and solenoid valves. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The EBCM disables the Antilock Brake System (ABS)/Traction Control System (TCS)/dynamic rear proportion (DRP)/Vehicle Stability Enhancement System (VSES) for the duration of the ignition cycle. |
| • | The ABS indicator turns ON. |
| • | The Traction Control indicator turns ON. |
| • | The driver information center (DIC) displays the SERVICE ABS/TRACTION message. |
| • | The DIC displays the PANIC BRAKE ASSIST message. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The condition for setting 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 Verification
With the scan tool, access the ABS special functions menu and perform the ABS Motor test. The pump motor should function and no DTCs should be set.
Circuit/System Testing
- Test for an open or a short to ground in the solenoid valve battery positive voltage circuit terminal. Verify no open or a short to ground is found.
| ⇒ | If open or a short to ground is found repair circuit. |
- Replace the EBCM/brake pressure modulator valve (BPMV) assembly.
Repair Instructions
Perform the
Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
