Initialization Sequence
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Pontiac G5 and 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The electronic brake control module (EBCM) performs one initialization test each ignition cycle. The initialization of the EBCM occurs when the following conditions are met:
- The ignition is ON.
- The bulb check has been completed.
- Vehicle speed is greater than 13 km/h (8 mph).
The initialization sequence briefly cycles each solenoid and the pump motor to verify proper operation of the components. The EBCM sets one or more DTCs in accordance with any malfunction that is detected.
