System Self-Test

2000 Buick Park Avenue Base, 3.8 KSECTION System Self-Test

The EBCM performs an automatic test once every ignition cycle when ignition switch is turned to RUN position. The self-test cycles each solenoid valve and pump motor (and any necessary relays) in order to check component operation. If a malfunction is detected, EBCM will set a DTC. The self-test may be heard and felt, and is a normal mode of operation.
