Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
The ABS module continually monitors the status and condition of the ABS and stability control systems. Using the various sensor inputs, the ABS module is able to calculate the brake system temperature. Excessive brake system temperatures can lead to a brake fade condition. If the ABS module determines the brake system is overheated, a DTC is set and the ABS warning indicator is illuminated.
REFER to: Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) and Stability Control - System Operation and Component Description .
DTC Fault Trigger Conditions
| DTC | Description | Fault Trigger Condition |

| ABS C0072:4B | Brake Temperature Too High: Over Temperature | Sets when the ABS module has determined the brake system is overheated. This is usually due to one or more brake calipers being partially applied (dragging). |
