DTC C0239: TCS Spark Retard Monitoring Malfunction (CAMARO & Firebird): Diagnosis
- Perform DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK under DIAGNOSIS & TESTING. Go to next step.
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect EBCM connector. Install Universal Pinout Box (J 39700) using Cable Adapter (J 39700-25) to EBCM harness connector only. Turn ignition on, engine off. Using DVOM, measure voltage between universal pinout box terminal No. 19 (Gray/Black wire) and ground. If voltage is greater than 10 volts, go to next step. If voltage is not greater than 10 volts, go to step 6 .
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect PCM connector C2. Turn ignition on, engine off. Using DVOM, measure voltage between universal pinout box terminal No. 19 (Gray/Black wire) and ground. If voltage is greater than one volt, go to next step. If voltage is less than one volt, go to step 5 .
- Repair short to voltage in Gray/Black wire between PCM and EBCM. After repairs, go to step 11 .
- Replace EBCM. See ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. After repairs, go to step 11 .
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect PCM connector C2. Using DVOM, measure resistance between universal pinout box terminals No. 15 (Black wire) and No. 19 (Gray/Black wire). If resistance is infinite, go to step 8 . If resistance is not infinite, go to next step.
- Repair short to ground in Gray/White wire between PCM and EBCM. After repairs, go to step 11 .
- Using DVOM, measure resistance between universal pinout box terminal No. 19 (Gray/Black wire) and PCM connector C2 terminal No. 53. If resistance is 0-5 ohms, go to step 10 . If resistance is not 0-5 ohms, go to next step.
- Repair open in Gray/White wire between PCM and EBCM. After repairs, go to step 11 .
- Diagnose PCM. See appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE. After repairs, go to next step.
- Using scan tool, clear DTCs. Operate vehicle. If DTC does not reset, system is okay.
