Circuit/System Description
The electronic brake control module (EBCM) detects an internal malfunction.
Conditions for Running the DTC
* Ignition ON.
* Ignition voltage is greater than 10 volts.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The EBCM detects an internal malfunction.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* The EBCM disables the antilock brake system (ABS), traction control and the vehicle stability enhancement system for the duration of the ignition cycle.
* A driver information center message and/or a warning indicator may be displayed.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
* The condition for the DTC is no longer present.
* The EBCM clears the history DTC when a current DTC is not detected in 40 consecutive drive cycles.

Circuit/System Testing
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K17 EBCM.
2. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down. Test for less than 10 ohm between the ground circuits listed below and ground:
* Terminal 13
* Terminal 38
• If greater than the specified range, test the appropriate ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
3. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuits listed below and ground.
* Terminal 1
* Terminal 25
• If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the appropriate circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
4. If all circuits test normal, replace the K17 EBCM.
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification Verification Tests after completing the diagnostic procedure.
