Abs Code 16: Electronic Brake Control Module Errors

Code 16 will set if certain internal EBCM failures are detected. This code can also be set by other system malfunctions during certain test periods. If a code 16 is encountered, the vehicle should be test driven again, so that the system may perform another self check during the normal start-up and acceleration phases of driving. In some cases, codes 1-15 will set when a code 16 had previously been displayed. Refer to the appropriate ABS Code charts as required.

1. Turn ignition off. Test drive car. Accelerate slowly to 25 MPH. Repeat acceleration and stop 2 times.
2. If ABS code did not set, see NOTE ON INTERMITTENTS  under TROUBLESHOOTING.
3. If CODE 16 sets, Replace EBCM. See ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION.
4. If any other codes set, go to appropriate ABS code. See ABS TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS  .
