DTC Descriptor

DTC C0899 00
- Device Voltage Low

Diagnostic Fault Information






Circuit/System Description

The electronic brake control module (EBCM) monitors the ignition voltage level available for system operation. A low voltage condition prevents the system from operating properly.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition is ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

This DTC will be set if the ignition voltage available to the EBCM is less than 9 volts for 100 msec.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* The traction control system (TCS) and vehicle stability enhancement system (VSES) are disabled for the duration of the ignition cycle
* The Stability System Off indicator turns ON.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

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

Diagnostic Aids

A low voltage DTC in multiple modules indicates a concern in the charging system.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Measure and record the voltage at the battery terminals. Observe the scan tool Battery Voltage Signal parameter. Verify that battery terminal voltage and battery voltage signal readings do not differ greater than 1 volt.

If the difference is greater than 1 volt, test the battery positive voltage and ground circuits of the EBCM for an open/high resistance, or replace the EBCM.

2. Go to Charging System Test. Charging System Test
