C0900

DTC C0900

Circuit Description
The electronic brake control module (EBCM) monitors the voltage level available for system operation. If the voltage level is too high, damage may result to the system. When the EBCM detects a high voltage condition, the EBCM disables the ABS system.

DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports this DTC:
DTC C0900 Device Voltage High

Conditions for Running the DTC
The vehicle speed is greater than 8 km/h (5 mph).

Conditions for Setting the DTC
The system voltage is greater than 17 volts.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
If equipped, these actions will occur:
^ The EBCM disables the ABS.
^ Dynamic rear proportioning (DRP) is degraded when the code is current.
^ The EBCM disables the traction control system (TCS).
^ The EBCM disables vehicle stability enhancement system (VSES).
^ The ABS indicator turns ON.
^ The driver information center (DIC) displays the Service Stability System message.
^ The DIC displays the Service Traction System message.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC
^ The condition for 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
A possible cause of this DTC is overcharging.

Test Description





These numbers refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
2. Use the scan tool in order to inspect the voltage to the EBCM.
3. Use the scan tool in order to inspect the voltage to the body control module (BCM). A high voltage value in multiple modules indicates a concern in the charging system.
4. This step verifies that the condition is still present.
