Diagnostic Test
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Dodge Caliber. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- CHECK FOR A DTC C1073-ABS PUMP MOTOR CONTROL CIRCUIT NOTE: This DTC must be active for the results of this test to be valid. If present, diagnose and repair DTC C2116-ABS PUMP MOTOR SUPPLY LOW VOLTAGE before diagnosing this DTC.
- Turn the ignition on.
- With the scan tool, record and erase the DTCs.
- Cycle the ignition switch from off to on.
- Road test the vehicle over 25 mph (40 km/h).NOTE: Vehicle must be driven above 25 mph (40 km/h) for set conditions to be meet.
- With the scan tool, read the DTCs.NOTE: The Anti-Lock Brake Module must sense ALL 4 wheels at 7.5 mph (12 km/h) before it will extinguish the ABS indicators.
Does the scan tool display: C1073-ABS PUMP MOTOR CONTROL CIRCUIT?
Yes
- Go to step 2
No
- The condition that caused the symptom is currently not present. Inspect the related wiring for a possible intermittent condition. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched or partially broken wires.
- Perform the ABS-INTERMITTENT CONDITION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Antilock Brake (ABS) - Standard Procedure .
- INSPECT RELATED WIRING HARNESS, TERMINALS, AND CONNECTORS
- Turn the ignition off.
- Visually inspect the related wiring harness. Look for any pinched, chafed, pierced and partially broken wires.
- Visually inspect the related wiring harness connectors. Look for broken, bent, pushed out and corroded terminals.
Were any problems found?
Yes
- Repair as necessary.
- Perform the ABS VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Antilock Brake (ABS) - Standard Procedure .
No
- Go to step 3
- CHECK THE ABS PUMP MOTOR FUSED B+ FOR AN OPEN
- CHECK THE (A921) FUSED B(+) FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Turn the ignition off.
- Disconnect the Anti-Lock Brake Module harness connector.
- Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12 volts, probe the (A921) Fused B+ circuit.
Does the test light illuminate brightly?
Yes
- Repair the (A921) Fused B(+) circuit for a short to ground.
- Perform the ABS VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Antilock Brake (ABS) - Standard Procedure .
No
- Go to step 5
- CHECK THE (A921) FUSED B(+) CIRCUIT
- Turn the ignition off.
- Visually inspect the (A921) Fused B(+) circuit in the wiring harness.
- Look for any signs of intermittent short to ground.
Is the wiring harness OK?
Yes
- Go to step 6
No
- Repair the (A921) Fused B(+) circuit for a short to ground.
- Perform the ABS VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Antilock Brake (ABS) - Standard Procedure .
- CHECK THE VOLTAGE ON THE (A921) FUSED B(+) CIRCUIT
- Turn the ignition off.
- Disconnect the Anti-Lock Brake Module harness connector.
- Measure the voltage of the (A921) Fused B(+) circuit in the Anti-Lock Brake Module harness connector.
Is the voltage above 10 volts?
Yes
- Go to step 7
No
- Repair the (A921) Fused B(+) circuit for an open.
- Perform the ABS VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Antilock Brake (ABS) - Standard Procedure .
- CHECK THE (Z901) GROUND CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN
- Measure the resistance of the (Z901) Ground circuits between the Anti-Lock Brake Module harness connector and ground
Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Replace the ICU per service information.
- Perform the ABS VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Antilock Brake (ABS) - Standard Procedure .
No
- Repair the high resistance in the affected circuit.
- Perform the ABS VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Antilock Brake (ABS) - Standard Procedure .
- Measure the resistance of the (Z901) Ground circuits between the Anti-Lock Brake Module harness connector and ground
