Code 67/71 - EMB Circuit Open Or Shorted To Ground: Notes

This test detects short to ground or open in Electro-Mechanical Brake (EMB) release circuit. A short to ground between EMB and EBCM will cause EMB to be energized indefinitely at an uncontrolled current, causing EMB to damage itself.

Code 67 can set only when left front EMB is commanded off and EBCM detects left front EMB control circuit is constantly grounded. Code will be stored, ABS will be disabled and ABS warning light will illuminate.

NOTE: Test numbers refer to numbers on diagnostic chart. Use only 10-megohm (minimum) DVOM for all voltage and resistance tests.
