This DTC is provided as an "information only" test and reflects the status of the command issued by the EBCM/EBTCM to illuminate the red "BRAKE" warning lamp. If another diagnostic DTC issues a command to illuminate the red "BRAKE" warning lamp, DTC 86 will be stored in memory as a history DTC at the conclusion of the ignition cycle.

Any ABS mechanical DTC that issues a command to illuminate the red "BRAKE" warning lamp will also result in DTC 86 being stored in memory during shut down. These DTCs are: 38, 41, 42, 45, 46, 47, 48 and 51. If the motors are not in their home position, certain electrical DTCs will also command the red "BRAKE" warning lamp "ON."
