DTC Descriptor
DTC C0201 00
- Antilock Brake System (ABS) Enable Relay Contact Circuit

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 B+ 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 antilock brake system (ABS), traction control system (TCS) and vehicle stability enhancement system (VSES) for the duration of the ignition cycle.
* The ABS indicator illuminates.
* The red Brake indicator illuminates.
* The StabiliTrak indicator illuminates.
* The driver information center (DIC) displays all wheel drive (AWD) OFF/Service Traction Control/Service StabiliTrak message.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* The condition for setting the DTC is no longer present.
* The EBCM clears the history DTC when a current DTC is not detected in 100 consecutive drive cycles.
