Circuit/System Description

The electronic brake control module (EBCM) monitors the powertrain control module (PCM). The EBCM will prevent traction control and vehicle stability control (VSC) operation if it determines fault within the powertrain control system.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Engine speed is above 500 RPM

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The EBCM detects a fault within the powertrain control system.
