Circuit/System Description

The brake booster vacuum sensor monitors the pressure in the brake booster. The electronic brake control module (EBCM) supplies a 5 V reference and a low reference circuit to the brake booster vacuum sensor. The vacuum sensor supplies a voltage signal in relation to the pressure in the brake booster to the EBCM.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

C1100 01

A short to voltage or open/high resistance is detected on the vacuum sensor signal circuit.

C1100 02

A short to ground or open/high resistance is detected on the vacuum sensor signal circuit.

C1100 08, C1100 09

A invalid signal is detected on the vacuum sensor signal circuit.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The brake warning indicator turns ON.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

•  A current DTC clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.
•  The EBCM will turn OFF the indicator in the next ignition cycle.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B19B Brake Booster Vacuum Sensor.
2. Test for less than 5 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal 2 and ground.
If greater than the specified value, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K17 Electronic Brake Control Module.
3. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 V between the 5 V reference circuit terminal 3 and ground.
If greater than the specified range, test the 5 V reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K17 Electronic Brake Control Module.
If less than the specified range, test the 5 V reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K17 Electronic Brake Control Module.
4. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K17 Electronic Brake Control Module.
5. Ignition ON, test for less than 0.3 V between the signal circuit terminal 1 at the B19B Brake Booster Vacuum Sensor harness connector and ground.
If greater than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage.
6. Ignition OFF, test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminal 1 and ground.
If less than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground.
7. Test for less than 5 Ω between the signal circuit terminal 1 at the B19B Brake Booster Vacuum Sensor harness connector and terminal 22 at the K17 Electronic Brake Control Module harness connector.
If greater than the specified value, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance.
8. If all circuits test normal, replace the B19B Brake Booster Vacuum Sensor and verify the DTC does not reset. If the DTC resets, replace the K17 Electronic Brake Control Module.
