DTC Descriptor
DTC C0201 04: Antilock Brake System (ABS) Enable Relay Contact CircuitDiagnostic Fault Information
Important: Always perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
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
One or more of the following conditions exists:
| • | 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 ABS/EBD for the duration of the ignition cycle. |
| • | The ABS indicator turns ON. |
| • | The red brake warning indicator turns ON. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The condition for setting the DTC is no longer present. |
| • | 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.
| ⇒ | If battery positive voltage circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM/BPMV assembly. |
Repair Instructions
Important: Always perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
