C1296

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The Electronic Brake and Traction Control Module (EBTCM) uses input from the Brake Pressure Sensor for more accurate control during an Active Handling event.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
DTC C1296 can be set anytime the ignition switch is in the ON position, and the signal voltage from the Brake Pressure Sensor is less than 0.20 volts or greater than 4.80 volts.

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
Antilock Brake System (ABS) and Traction Control System (TCS) remain enabled, Active Handling is disabled.
^ Indicators that turn on:
- Car Icon (TCS indicator)
^ Messages displayed on the Driver Information Center (DIC):
- Service Active HNDLG

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE DTC
^ Condition for Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is no longer present and Scan tool clear DTC function is used.
^ Fifty ignition cycles have passed with no DTCs detected.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
^ It is very important that a thorough inspection of the wiring and connectors be performed. Failure to carefully and fully inspect wiring and connectors may result in misdiagnosis, causing part replacement with reappearance of the malfunction.
^ An intermittent malfunction can be caused by poor connections, broken insulation, or a wire that is broken inside the insulation.
^ If an intermittent malfunction exists refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents in Diagnostic Aids.
