Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 2:  This step tests for DTCs set in the Body Control Module BCM Lighting Systems for a malfunctioning BPPS.
  2. 3:  This step tests for specified voltage on the brake pressure signal circuit.
  3. 4:  This step checks to see if voltage was below specified voltage.
  4. 5:  This step checks to see if voltage was above specified voltage.
  5. 6:  This step checks to see if voltage was above specified voltage of the 5-volt reference.
  6. 7:  This step checks to see if 5-volt reference from the EBCM is 5 volts.
  7. 8:  This step checks to see if resistance of the ground circuit is less than 5 ohms.
  8. 9:  This step tests for a short to voltage in the 5-volt reference circuit.
  9. 10:  This step tests for a short to ground, a high resistance, or an open in the 5-volt reference circuit.
  10. 11:  This step tests for a short to voltage in the brake pressure sensor signal circuit.
  11. 12:  This step tests for a high resistance or an open in the ground circuit.
  12. 13:  This step checks the brake pressure sensor connector for poor connections.
  13. 14:  This step checks to EBCM connector for poor connections.
