C1294

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
This DTC occurs when the internal self-checking safety logic has determined that the stoplamp/BTSI switch is continuously on. The TCS cannot be activated when the stoplamp/BTSI switch is on.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
The DTC sets if the following occur:
^ The vehicle speed is greater than 40 km/h (25 mph).
^ The brake was never off during 2 consecutive drive cycles.

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
^ A malfunction DTC is stored.
^ The TCS is disabled.
^ The TRACTION OFF indicator is turned ON.
^ The ABS remains functional.

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE DTC
^ The condition for the DTC is no longer present and you used the scan tool Clear DTC function.
^ The EBCM/EBTCM does not detect the DTC in 50 drive cycles.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
^ It is very important that a thorough inspection of the wiring and connectors be performed. Failure to carefully and fully inspect wiring and connectors may result in misdiagnosis, causing part replacement with reappearance of the malfunction.
^ An intermittent malfunction can be caused by poor connections, broken insulation, or a wire that is broken inside the insulation.
^ If an intermittent malfunction exists, refer to Intermittents and Poor Connections Diagnosis in Diagnostic Information and Procedures.
^ This condition may be cause by the following:
- A short to voltage in the stoplamp/BTSI switch circuit.
- A misadjusted or shorted stoplamp/BTSI switch.
- A pedal that is binding.
