Diagnostics
Self-Diagnostics
The VDC system has extensive self-diagnostic capabilities. When the ignition switch is turned
from OFF to ON, the VDCCM performs an electrical self-check and illuminates the VDC,
ABS, Hill Holder, and/or other related warning lights on the combination meter. If there are no
electrical problems, the warning lights should turn OFF after approximately 2 seconds.
Note: During this self-test a slight shock in the brake pedal may be felt and audible
noise may be heard from the Motor Pump actuation. This does not indicate an
abnormal condition.

The VDCCM performs a second check when the vehicle speed reaches approximately 3
-6 MPH (if the brake has not been applied) or approximately 8 MPH (if the brake has been
applied). During this self-check the VDCCM briefly operates the Motor Pump.
