Circuit Description

The ABS control module uses a relay to control the valve solenoids. When the ignition is in the Run position, the module energizes the relay winding to switch the battery voltage that supplies the solenoids. The module will disable the relay when the ignition is off, or a fault is detected.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

DTC C0121 will set if:

•	The control module commands the relay on, but does not sense battery voltage at the solenoids.

•	The control module commands the relay off, and senses battery voltage at the solenoids.

When DTC C0121 sets:

•	The ABS telltale will be on.

•	The ABS control module will disable the ABS, the TCS, and the DRP.

Diagnostic Aids

This relay is inside the ABS control module and is NOT serviceable.
