DTC Descriptors

DTC C1100 00
- Brake Presure Sensor 2

Diagnostic Fault Information






Circuit/System Description

The Brake Booster Vacuum Sensor measures the vacuum in the Brake Booster assembly. The Electronic Brake Control Module supplies a 5 V reference and a low reference circuit to the Brake Booster Vacuum Sensor. The vacuum sensor supplies a voltage signal in relation to the pressure in the Brake Booster to the Electronic Brake Control Module.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

C1100 00

The Electronic Brake Control Module detects a fault in the brake vacuum senor or circuits.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The red Brake warning indicator turns ON.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* A current DTC clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.

* The Electronic Brake Control Module will turn OFF the indicator in the next ignition cycle.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the Brake Booster Vacuum Sensor.

2. Ignition OFF, test for less than 10 ohms between the low reference circuit terminal 2 and ground.

If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the Electronic Brake Control Module.

3. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 V between the 5 V reference circuit terminal 3 and ground.

If less than the specified range, test the 5 V reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the Electronic Brake Control Module.

If greater than the specified range, test the 5 V reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the Electronic Brake Control Module.

4. Ignition ON, test for 4.5-5.2 V between the 5 V reference circuit terminal 3 and the signal circuit terminal 1.

If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the Electronic Brake Control Module.

If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the Electronic Brake Control Module.

5. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the Electronic Brake Control Module.

6. Ignition OFF, test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminal 10 and ground.

If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground.

7. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the Brake Booster Vacuum Sensor.
