Normal Operation
The brake booster solenoid is internal to the brake booster. During normal braking, the ABS module applies a Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) voltage to the brake booster solenoid. The ABS module provides ground to the solenoid along circuit VCA22 (GN/BN). The ABS module constantly checks the integrity of the booster solenoid and circuits. If a booster solenoid fault is detected, the brake system transitions from brake-by-wire mode to conventional friction braking. Other DTCs for brake booster performance may set as a result of a brake booster solenoid circuit fault. The brake booster solenoid cannot be serviced separately from the brake booster. If a new brake booster solenoid is needed, a new brake booster must be installed.
| DTC Description | Fault Trigger Conditions |
|---|---|
|
If the ABS module detects a short to ground on either circuit, this DTC sets. |
|
If the ABS module detects a short to voltage on either circuit, this DTC sets. |
|
If the ABS module detects an open or high resistance on either circuit, this DTC sets. |
|
If the ABS module detects a short to ground, open or high resistance on either circuit or the solenoid, this DTC sets. |
|
If the ABS module detects a short to ground, open or high resistance on either circuit, the solenoid or if the ABS module is faulted internally, this DTC sets. |
|
If the ABS module detects a short to ground on either circuit, the solenoid or if the ABS module is faulted internally, this DTC sets. |
