  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
    2. IMPORTANT: Removing battery voltage or ground from the electronic brake control module (EBCM) will result in the following conditions:
    • Loss of the TIM learned tire inflation configuration parameters in the EBCM.
    • The EBCM sets DTC C1245.

    When the diagnosis is complete, inspect the tire pressures and perform the TIM reset. Refer to Tire Pressure Monitor Reset Procedure in Tire Pressure Monitoring.
  2. Disconnect the EBCM harness connector.
  3. Connect the J 39700  Universal Pinout Box using the J 39700-99  Breakout Box Adapter to the EBCM harness connector only. See Special Tools .
  4. Test both ground circuits of the EBCM including the EBCM ground for a high resistance or an open.

  1. Remove the EBCM from the brake pressure modulator valve (BPMV). Refer to Electronic Brake Control Module Replacement .
  2. Measure the resistance from both pump motor control circuits of the BPMV to the housing of the BPMV. Refer to Circuit Testing in Wiring Systems.
Does the resistance measure less than the specified value?		 5 Ω Go to Step 4  Go to Step 5 
4 Inspect for poor connections at the connector of the BPMV. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 8  Go to Step 6 
5 Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the EBCM. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 8  Go to Step 7 
6 Replace the BPMV. Refer to Brake Pressure Modulator Valve (BPMV) Replacement .
