Pinpoint Test K: DTC C1093 - Traction Control Disable Switch Circuit Failure/The Traction Control Is Inoperative

  1. K1 CHECK CIRCUIT 1412 (WH/PK) FOR A SHORT TO GROUND 
    • Disconnect: Traction Control Switch C2114.
    • Disconnect: Instrument Cluster C220a.
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Measure the resistance between traction control switch C2114-10, circuit 1412 (WH/PK), harness side and ground.

    • Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms? 

    Yes  : GO to  K2.

    No  : REPAIR circuit 1412 (WH/PK) for an open. TEST the system for normal operation.

  2. K2 CHECK THE STABILITY ASSIST SWITCH 
    • Connect: Traction Control Switch C2114.
    • Make sure the traction control switch is not pressed (stability assist not disabled).
    • Measure the resistance between instrument cluster C220a-5, circuit 1412 (WH/PK), component side and ground.

    • Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms? 

    Yes  : GO to  K3.

    No  : INSTALL a new traction control switch. TEST the system for normal operation.

  3. K3 MONITOR THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PID 
    • Connect: Instrument Cluster C220a.
    • Connect the scan tool.
    • Key in ON position.
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: Instrument Cluster Traction Control/IVD Status PID.
    • Monitor the instrument cluster traction control/IVD status PID while pressing the traction control/interactive vehicle dynamics (IVD) disable switch repeatedly.
    • Does the PID agree with the switch position? 

    Yes  : GO to  K4.

    No  : GO to  K5.

  4. K4 CHECK FOR CORRECT ABS MODULE OPERATION 
    • Disconnect the ABS connector.
    • Check for:
      • corrosion.
      • pushed-out pins.
    • Connect the ABS connector and make sure it seats correctly.
    • Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
    • Is the concern still present? 

    Yes  : INSTALL a new ABS module. REFER to ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) MODULE  in this article. TEST the system for normal operation.

    No  : The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.

  5. K5 CHECK FOR CORRECT INSTRUMENT CLUSTER OPERATION 
    • Disconnect all instrument cluster connectors.
    • Check for:
      • corrosion.
      • pushed-out pins.
    • Connect all instrument cluster connectors and make sure they seat correctly.
    • Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
    • Is the concern still present? 

    Yes  : INSTALL a new instrument cluster. REFER to INSTRUMENT CLUSTER . TEST the system for normal operation.

    No  : The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
