Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

With the ignition ON, the RCM sends messages to the ABS module over the HS-CAN2. If the ABS module does not receive these messages within a certain time frame, the module sets Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). For information on the messages sent to the ABS module by the RCM, refer to the Network Message Chart. REFER to: Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) and Stability Control - System Operation and Component Description (206-09 Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) and Stability Control, Description and Operation).
