2006 Chevrolet Suburban C2500, 6.0 USECTION Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 3:  This step tests for a voltage signal from the PCM.
  2. 4:  This step tests for a missing or erratic vehicle speed signal from the PCM. An assistant may be required to perform this test.
DTC C0235-C0237 or P0609

Step Action Values Yes No
Schematic Reference: ABS Schematics

  1. Use a scan tool in order to clear the DTCs.
  2. Operate the vehicle at a speed greater than the specified value.
Does the DTC set?		 19 km/h (12 mph) Go to Step 3  Go to Diagnostic Aids
3 
  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Disconnect from the electronic brake control module (EBCM), the harness connector containing the vehicle speed signal circuit.
  3. Turn ON the ignition.
  4. Use a DMM in order to measure the DC voltage between the vehicle speed signal circuit and a good ground.
Does the voltage measure greater than the specified value?		 10 V Go to Step 4  Go to Step 7 
4 
  1. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle .
  2. Place the transmission in neutral (N).
  3. Set up the DMM in order to measure the DC voltage between the vehicle speed signal circuit and a good ground.
  4. Spin the rear wheels as fast as possible by hand for at least 30 seconds and while ensuring the driveshaft is rotating, observe the DMM.
Does the voltage measure within the specified range the entire time the driveshaft is rotating?		 5-7 V Go to Step 5  Go to Step 7 
5 Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the EBCM. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 10  Go to Step 6 
6 Replace the EBCM. Refer to Control Module References for replacement, setup, and programming.
Did you complete the replacement?		 - Go to Step 10  -
7 Test the vehicle speed signal circuit for an open, a short to ground or a short to voltage. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 10  Go to Step 8 
8 Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the powertrain control module (PCM). Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 10  Go to Step 9 
9 Replace the PCM. Refer to Control Module References for replacement, setup, and programming.
Did you complete the replacement?		 - Go to Step 10  -

  1. Use the scan tool in order to clear the DTCs.
  2. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC as specified in the supporting text.
Does the DTC reset?		 - Go to Step 3  System OK

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
