DTC C12B8
- High Pressure Accumulator Pressure Sensor Erratic
Circuit/System Description
The high pressure accumulator is attached to the brake pressure modulator valve and provides up to 2500 psi for use in apply the brakes. The
electronic brake control module (EBCM) uses input from the high pressure accumulator sensor for more accurate control during braking and
vehicle stability enhancement system (VSES) event. The high pressure accumulator sensor is internal to the brake pressure modulator valve
(BPMV).
Conditions for Running the DTC
* Ignition ON.
* Ignition voltage is greater than 10 volts.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
C012B 01 or C12B7
A short to battery is detected on the sensor signal circuit.
C012B 06 or C12B6
A short to ground or open is detected on signal circuit.
C012B OF or C12B8
Signal is erratic and changes faster than physically allowed.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* The EBCM disables the ABS and vehicle stability enhancement system (VSES) for the duration of the ignition cycle.
* A DIC message and/or a warning indicator may be displayed.
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 40 consecutive drive cycles.
