DTC C0292 1A: Vehicle Stability Enhancement System Combination Sensor Circuits Bias Level Out of Range

DTC C0292 39: Vehicle Stability Enhancement System Combination Sensor Circuits Internal Electronic Failure

Circuit/System Description

The electronic brake control module (EBCM) supplies a 12 volt reference to the multi-axis acceleration sensor and is monitored via an internal feedback circuit to the EBCM microprocessor.

Conditions for Running the DTC

•	The ignition is ON.

•	Ignition voltage is greater than 9.5 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The multi-axis acceleration sensor is setting an internal electronic failure.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

•	Vehicle stability enhancement system is disabled.

•	The vehicle stability enhancement system indicator illuminates.

•	The driver information centre displays the Service ESC message.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

•	The condition for setting the DTC is no longer present.

•	The EBCM automatically clears the history DTC when a current DTC is not detected in 100 consecutive drive cycles.

Circuit/System Testing

Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B119 Multi-axis Acceleration Sensor.
Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down. Test for less than 10Ω between the low reference circuit terminal 1 and ground.

⇒	If greater than the specified range, test for an open/high resistance in the low reference circuit. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K17 Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM).

Ignition ON, test for greater than 11 V between the 12 V reference circuit terminal 4 and ground.

⇒	If less than the specified value, test the 12 V reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EK17 Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM).

Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K17 Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM).
Test for infinite resistance between the low reference circuit terminal 29 and ground.

⇒	If greater than the specified value, test the low reference circuit for a short to ground.

If all circuits test normal, replace the B119 Multi-axis Acceleration Sensor.

Repair Instructions
