System Self-Test (Initialization)

The initialization is a 2-step process. It starts when ignition switch is first turned to ON position.

1. During the first part of the initialization, EBCM will verify ABS relay operation. Also, EBCM commands ABS and ABS ACTIVE indicator lights on for about 2-3 seconds. The Red BRAKE warning indicator light is briefly flashed on.
2. The second part of this process starts when vehicle reaches 3 MPH. During this process, EBCM will verify motor, hydraulic modulator and solenoids by using specific control schemes to verify all components are functioning properly. A slight mechanical noise may be heard during system initialization, which is normal. If your foot is on the brake pedal during this process, a slight movement in pedal may be felt.
