C0110 61

Circuit/System Description

The pump motor is a bi-directional motor and is an internal part of the brake pressure modulator. There are three solid state relays in the electronic brake control module that operate the pump. The pump motor runs every few brake stops in order to fill the high pressure accumulator with brake fluid.

Conditions for Running the DTC

    • Vehicle ON or Vehicle in Service Mode.
    • Ignition voltage is greater than 10 V.
    • The system enable relay is ON.
    • The pump motor has been commanded ON, OFF and ON again.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

    • Brake system hydraulic leak.
    • Excessive brake pedal applies.
    • Improper hydraulic brake system bleed.
    • The electronic brake control module detects a short to ground or an open/high resistance on the B+ circuit.
    • The electronic brake control module detects an open/high resistance on the ground circuit.
    • The electronic brake control module detects the pump motor runs continuously.
    • The electronic brake control module detects the pump motor is binding or stalled.
    • The brake pressure accumulator is not charging.
    • If in the Vehicle in Service Mode for an unspecified length of time, the high pressure accumulator may relieve brake pressure enough to set this DTC.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

    • The ABS indicator turns ON.
    • The red brake indicator turns ON.
    • The traction control/stability control indicator turns ON.
    • The Service Brake Assist and Service StabiliTrak messages are displayed on the driver information centre.
    • The electronic brake control module disables the antilock brake system, the traction control system and the electronic stability program for the duration of the drive cycle.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

    • The condition for setting the DTC is no longer present.
    • The history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive fault-free drive cycles have occurred.

Diagnostic Aids

    • Check for hydraulic leaks, air in the brake system or incorrect brake bleed.
    • DTC C0110 may set if the vehicle has been in the Service Mode for an extended period of time.
    • Find out from the customer the conditions under which the DTC was set. This information may help duplicate the concern like the specific number of brake pedal applies in a row prior to the fault set.

Circuit/System Verification

Note: DTC C0110 may set if the vehicle has been in the Service Mode for an extended period of time.

  1. Vehicle in Service Mode.
  2. Verify that DTC C029C is not set.
  3. If the DTC is set
        If the DTC is set, refer DTC C029C, C120C, C129A-C129F, C12B1, or C12F8 .
    ⇓   If the DTC is not set
  4. Perform a brake hydraulic system test, refer to Brake Hydraulic and Assist System Diagnosis .
  5. If the brake hydraulic system test does not pass
        Repair as necessary.
    ⇓   If the brake hydraulic system tests normal
  6. Refer to Circuit/System Testing.

Circuit/System Testing

    Note: DTC C0110 may set if the vehicle has been in the Service Mode for an extended period of time.

  1. Vehicle OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K17 electronic brake control module. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down.
  2. Test for less than 10 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 13 and ground:
  3. If 10 Ω or greater
    2.1. Vehicle OFF.
    2.2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the ground circuit end to end.
    ⇒     If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
    ⇒     If less than 2 Ω, repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection.
    ⇓   If less than 10 Ω
  4. Vehicle in Service Mode.
  5. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 1 and ground.
  6. If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is good
    4.1. Vehicle OFF.
    4.2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the B+ circuit end to end.
    ⇒     If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
    ⇒     If less than 2 Ω, verify the fuse is not open and there is voltage at the fuse.
    If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is open
    4.1. Vehicle OFF.
    4.2. Test for infinite resistance between the B+ circuit and ground.
    ⇒     If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
    ⇒     If infinite resistance, replace the Q5 brake pressure modulator.
    ⇓   If the test illuminates
  7. Replace the Q5 brake pressure modulator.
