ABS Pressure Circuit

DTC C0131 5A

Pressure Circuit Calibration Not Learned

Diagnostic Fault Information





Circuit/System Description

The electronic brake control module (EBCM) uses input from the brake pressure sensor for more accurate control during a vehicle stability enhancement system (VSES) event.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* The ignition switch is in the ON position.
* Ignition voltage is greater than 9.5 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

* Internal pressure sensor line fault.
* Pressure signal does not correlate to estimated Pressure over time.
* Brake Signal does not correlate to Pressure Signal.
* Signal is erratic and changes faster than physically allowed.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* The EBCM disables the antilock brake system (ABS)/traction control system/(TCS) and vehicle stability enhancement system/(VSES) for the duration of the ignition cycle.
* The ABS/TCS and stabilitrak indicator turns ON.
* The Service Traction Control, and stabilitrak displayed on the DIC.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* The condition for the DTC is no longer present.
* The EBCM automatically clears the history DTC when a current DTC is not detected in 100 consecutive drive cycles.

Diagnostic Aids

The brake fluid pressure sensor is integral to the BPMV/EBCM. The brake fluid pressure sensor is not serviceable.
