DTC U1040: Loss Of EBCM/EBTCM Communication: Testing

  1. If instrument cluster diagnostic system check was performed, go to next step. If instrument cluster diagnostic system check was not performed, go to INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK  under SYSTEM TESTS.
  2. Connect scan tool. Turn ignition switch to RUN position. Using scan tool, establish communication with EBCM/EBTCM. If communication can be established, go to step  9 . If communication cannot be established, go to next step.
  3. Using scan tool, establish communication with other modules on class 2 serial data line. If communication can be established, go to next step. If communication cannot be established, go to SCAN TOOL DOES NOT COMMUNICATE WITH CLASS 2 DATA LINE  .
  4. Check for poor connection at EBCM/EBTCM Light Gray 24-pin connector C1, terminal A1 (Light Blue wire). Repair as necessary and go to step  9 . If circuit is okay, go to next step.
  5. Disconnect EBCM/EBTCM connector C1. Disconnect splice pack SP205 connector. See COMPONENT LOCATIONS  . Using DVOM, check resistance between splice pack SP205 connector terminal "E" (Light Blue wire) and EBCM/EBTCM harness connector C1, terminal A1 (Light Blue wire). See Figure . If resistance is 0-3 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is not 0-3 ohms, go to step  7 .
  6. Check resistance between EBCM/EBTCM harness connector C1, terminal A1 (Light Blue wire) and ground. See Figure . If resistance is 0-3 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is not 0-3 ohms, go to step  8 .
  7. Repair open or short to ground in appropriate circuit. See WIRING DIAGRAMS  . Go to step  9 .
  8. Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Replace EBCM/EBTCM. See appropriate ANTI-LOCK/TCS article in BRAKES. Go to next step.
  9. Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Reconnect all connectors and components. Using scan tool, clear DTCs. Recheck system operation.
