Diagnostic Instructions

* Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle (Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle) prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
* Review Strategy Based Diagnosis (Strategy Based Diagnosis) for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
* Diagnostic Procedure Instructions (Diagnostic Procedure Instructions) provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

Circuit/System Description

Battery voltage is supplied to the electronic brake control module (EBCM) through fuse F6 in the instrument panel (I/P) fuse block, to terminal 20 of the EBCM connector. The voltage is present when the ignition switch is in the ON or START position.

Circuit/System Verification

1. Verify EBCM connector is secure.

• If EBCM connector is not secure, repair EBCM connection

2. Verify battery voltage is 11-14V.

• If battery voltage is not as specified, test charging system, and/or replace battery if necessary.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the EBCM connector.
2. Ignition ON, check for 11-14V between the B+ circuit and ground.

• If the voltage is not as specified, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.

3. Test for less than 1 ohm between the ground circuits and ground.

• If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BPMV/EBCM.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification (Verification Tests) after completing the diagnostic procedure.
