Circuit Description
The ECM/PCM provides the ABS control module with engine RPM data so that it
can determine traction control system (TCS) operation.
DTC Parameters
DTC C0236 will set if the following conditions exist:
| • | The engine RPM circuit is open or shorted. |
| • | The electronic brake and traction control module (EBTCM) does not receive
an RPM input signal one second after engine has been started |
When this trouble code sets the EBTCM will disable traction control.
Diagnostic Aids
Inspect wiring, connectors, and components for the following:
| • | Corrosion in connectors/terminals |
| • | Burned, chafed, or pinched wiring |
| • | A broken wire inside the insulation |
Possible causes for DTC C0236 to set:
| • | Open in the delivered RPM circuit |
| • | The delivered RPM circuit shorted to ground or voltage |
| • | Communication frequency problem |
| • | Communication duty cycle problem |
| • | The delivered RPM circuit has a wiring problem, terminal corrosion, or
poor connections |
| • | EBTCM not receiving information from PCM/ECM |
| • | A broken wire inside the insulation |
