Diagnostic Test
- CHECK FOR DTC C1091-ABS BRAKE LAMP CONTROL CIRCUIT HIGH NOTE: This DTC must be active for the results of this test to be valid.
- Turn the ignition on.
- With the scan tool, record and erase the DTCs.
- Start the Engine.
- Apply brake pedal firmly with at least 80 bar (1160 psi.).
- With the scan tool, read the DTCs.
Does the scan tool display: C1091-ABS BRAKE LAMP CONTROL CIRCUIT HIGH?
Yes
- Go to step 2
No
- Perform the ABS INTERMITTENT CONDITION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Antilock Brake (ABS) - Standard Procedure .
- CHECK CONNECTOR/TERMINAL FOR DAMAGE NOTE: Check all terminals for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded terminals.
- Turn the ignition off.
- Inspect the Anti-Lock Brake Module harness connector and the Brake Lamp Activation Relay harness connector.
Is the Anti-Lock Brake Module or any of the connectors/terminals damaged?
Yes
- Repair as necessary.
