DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) C0161
ABS BRAKE SWITCH CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION
Circuit Description
When the brake pedal is depressed, the contacts on the
brake light switch close to illuminate the brake lights. Bat-
tery voltage is also applied to terminal 14 of the electronic
brake control module (EBCM), which signals the ABS con-
troller that the brakes are applied and ABS may be need-
ed. Without this, signals from a wheel speed sensor that
may indicate need for ABS intervention are questionable.
When the brake pedal is not depressed, the EBCM termi-
nal 14 is grounded through the brake lights.
Diagnosis
This procedure will check whether there is no output or
constant output from the brake light switch and will deter-
mine the cause as a faulty switch or a problem in the cir-
cuitry.
Cause(s)
S The ground connection or the positive connection at
the EBCM has failed.
S There is an open, short to ground, or short to posi-
tive in the vehicle wiring.S The brake light switch has failed.
Fail Action
The system records a DTC C0161. ABS and EBD opera-
tion is enabled and ABS / EBD warning lamp don’t turn on.
Test Description
The number(s) below refer to step(s) on the diagnostic
table.
1. This simple test will isolate the problem to the fuse–
brake light switch–splice 301 area or the splice
301–EBCM area.
3. This is the first step in identifying an open, a short
to ground, a short to voltage, or a faulty brake light
switch.
11. This step begins the process of finding an open, a
defective connector, or a faulty EBCM.
Diagnostic Aids
Inspect wiring and connectors carefully and thoroughly.
Failure to do so could result in misdiagnosis, causing part
replacement with reappearance of the malfunction.

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) C0245
WHEEL SPEED SENSOR FREQUENCY ERROR
Circuit Description
The toothed wheel generates a voltage pulse as it moves
past the wheel speed sensor. Each tooth–gap–tooth se-
ries on the wheel generates the pulses. The electronic
brake control module (EBCM) uses the frequency of these
pulses to determine wheel speed. The voltage generated
depends on the air gap between the wheel speed sensor
and the toothed wheel, and on the wheel speed.
Diagnosis
This DTC will set when the EBCM cannot identify which
wheel speed sensor is causing the malfunction. It is nec-
essary to check all wheel speed sensors and associated
wiring to determine the cause of the DTC.
Cause(s)
S Incorrect number of teeth on the toothed wheel.
S Damaged or broken teeth on the toothed wheel.
S Discontinuity or short in wheel speed sensor wiring.
Fail Action
Antilock brake system (ABS) action is disabled and the
ABS warning lamp is ON.Test Description
The number(s) below refer to step(s) on the diagnostic
table.
1. This step begins the examination of the front wheel
speed sensors.
3. This step checks for a problem with one of the front
toothed rings.
5. This step checks the front wheel speed sensors.
7. This step checks for shorts in a front wheel speed
sensor harness.
9. This step checks for opens in a front wheel speed
sensor harness.
11. This step begins a check of the rear wheel speed
sensors.
13. This step checks for a problem with one of the rear
toothed rings.
15. This step checks the rear wheel speed sensors.
17. This step checks for shorts in a rear wheel speed
sensor harness.
19. This step checks for opens in a rear wheel speed
sensor harness.

Diagnostic Aids
DTC C0245 may be set by running the scan tool auto test
if the throttle angle readings are not updating while in the
data list mode. If this is the case, clear the DTCs, discon-
nect the scan tool, and road test the vehicle to at least 12
km/h (7 mph) to see if the DTC resets.
Check the toothed wheels for any large grooves, gouges,
marks, etc. that might influence the tooth’s signal at the
wheel speed sensor. Also check for a buildup of foreignmaterial in the gaps between teeth in the toothed wheel,
this material may cause this malfunction.
A badly worn hub/bearing assembly may cause this mal-
function. The wheel speed sensor–to–toothed wheel air
gap may change excessively due to bearing play.
If an improper rear hub assembly or front outer constant
velocity joint is installed, one with a toothed wheel contain-
ing the incorrect number of teeth, this DTC can set. Be
sure that the front and the rear toothed wheel have 47 and
29 teeth.
