DTC C0090: Right Rear Abs Solenoid No. 1 Circuit Malfunction

The ABS control module controls valve function by grounding the solenoid circuit when necessary. Solenoids No. 1 are outlet valves. DTC will set if ABS control module detects an open, short to ground or short to voltage on solenoid circuit(s) inside control module. If this condition is present, ABS indicator light will illuminate, BRAKE indicator light will illuminate, ABS is disabled and Dynamic Rear Proportioning (DRP) will only be functional on one rear wheel. If a left rear solenoid or left rear wheel speed DTC sets with DTC C0080, the DRP is disabled. Replace ABS control module as necessary.
