DTC C1265: Rear Abs Motor Circuit Shorted To Ground

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1997 Oldsmobile Cutlass and 1997 Chevrolet Malibu. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Perform diagnostic system check. See DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK  . After performing diagnostic system check, go to next step.
  2. If DTC C1265 occurs intermittently, go to step 13). If DTC C1265 does not occur intermittently, go to next step.
  3. Turn ignition off. Disconnect 6-pin ABS motor pack connector. Disconnect EBCM/EBTCM connector. Using DVOM, measure resistance between rear motor high circuit of motor pack connector (harness side) and ground. See WIRING DIAGRAM  . If resistance is infinite, go to next step. If resistance is not infinite, go to step 9).
  4. Using DVOM, measure resistance between rear motor low circuit of motor pack connector (harness side) and ground. See WIRING DIAGRAM  . If resistance is infinite, go to next step. If resistance is not infinite, go to step 10).
  5. Using DVOM, measure resistance between rear motor high circuit of motor pack connector (component side) and ground. See WIRING DIAGRAM  . If resistance is infinite, go to next step. If resistance is not infinite, go to step 8).
  6. Check 6-pin ABS motor pack connector and EBCM/EBTCM connector for poor terminal contact, corrosion or damage which could result in short to ground with connector connected. Check rear motor high circuit and rear motor low circuit for damage which could result in short to ground. If connectors or wires are faulty, go to step 11). If connectors and wires are okay, go to next step.
  7. Reconnect ABS modulator/motor pack assembly connector. Reconnect EBCM/EBTCM connector. Test drive vehicle, obtaining speed of at least 10 MPH. Turn ignition off. Repeat drive sequence 2 more times. Using scan tool, display DTCs. If DTC C1265 sets as current in last 3 drive cycles, go to step 12). If DTC C1265 does not set as current in last 3 drive cycles, go to step 13).
  8. Replace motor pack. After repairs, perform DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK  .
  9. Repair short to ground in rear motor high circuit between motor pack and EBCM/EBTCM. After repairs, perform DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK  .
  10. Repair short to ground in rear motor low circuit between motor pack and EBCM/EBTCM. After repairs, perform DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK  .
  11. Replace all faulty terminals or connectors. After repairs, perform DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK  .
  12. Replace EBCM/EBTCM. After repairs, perform DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK  .
  13. Malfunction is not currently present. Using scan tool, select MANUAL CONTROL. While applying light pressure on brake pedal, move ABS motor of affected channel in both directions. If erratic or jumpy brake pedal movement is detected while applying and releasing ABS motor, malfunction may be intermittent. An intermittent may be caused by a poor connection, rubbed through wire insulation, or a broken wire inside insulation. If malfunction is not current, wiggle wires of affected channel and check if DTC resets. This will assist in locating an intermittent in motor circuitry or connections. Frequency of malfunction can be determined by using enhanced diagnostic function of scan tool. Check for backed out terminals, improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, poor terminal-to-wiring connections, or damaged wiring harness. After diagnosis is complete, clear DTCs and test drive vehicle for 3 drive cycles to verify DTC does not reset. Drive cycle consists of starting vehicle, driving vehicle faster than 10 MPH, stopping vehicle, and then turning ignition off.
