Circuit/System Description
The electronic brake control module (EBCM) uses input from the brake pressure sensor for more accurate control during a Vehicle Stability Enhancement System (VSES) event.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | The ignition is ON. |
| • | Ignition voltage is greater than 9.5 volts |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | Pressure signal does not correlate to estimated pressure over time. |
| • | Brake signal does not correlate to pressure signal. |
| • | Signal is erratic and changes faster than physically allowed. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The EBCM disables the VSES and TCS for the duration of the ignition cycle. |
| • | The electronic stability control (ESC) telltale turns ON. |
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. |
Diagnostic Aids
The pressure sensor is integral to the brake pressure modulator valve (BPMV). The pressure sensor is not serviceable.
Inspect the brake pressure sensor contacts for proper connections.

Circuit/System Testing
- Apply and release brake pedal. Verify brake lamps operate properly.
- Replace EBCM/brake pressure modulator valve (BPMV) assembly.
| ⇒ | If brake lamps do not operate properly, refer to Symptoms - Lighting Systems . |
Repair Instructions
Important: Always perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
