Circuit/System Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Cadillac ATS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The chassis control module constantly monitors the chassis control system for any condition which may adversely affect vehicle emissions. If a condition is detected, the chassis control module sets a DTC and sends a serial data message to the engine control module (ECM). The ECM sets DTC P26C8 to inform the technician that the chassis control module has set the emission related DTC. The serial data message sent by the chassis control module also contains a request for the ECM to illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).

The technician can observe the DTC that was set by the chassis control module by reviewing the ECM Freeze Frame records on the scan tool. The ECM Freeze Frame records also contain the engine operating conditions present when the chassis control module DTC set.
