1996 Chevrolet Lumina APV V6-3.4L VIN ESECTION Electronic Brake and Traction Control Module (EBTCM)
Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) - PCM Serial Data (CKT 800)
The PCM uses the serial data line (CKT 800) to communicate with various other components and systems within the vehicle. If the PCM does not receive data from the Electronic Brake and Traction Control Module (EBTCM), the PCM will store DTC P1573 indicating loss of communication with the ABS/TCS system.
The PCM also receives rough road information from the EBTCM/EBCM on the serial data circuit (CKT 800). The PCM uses the rough road information to enhance the misfire diagnostic by detecting crankshaft speed variations caused by driving on rough road surfaces. This allows false misfire information to be rejected. The EBTCM/EBCM calculates rough road information by monitoring the ABS wheel speed sensors. If a fault occurs which causes the PCM to not receive rough road information while a misfire DTC is requesting the MIL, DTC P1381 will set.
Under certain conditions, the PCM has the ability to request the EBTCM to shut OFF traction control via serial data (CKT 800). The following DTCs will cause traction control to be disabled, an ABS/TCS DTC to be set, and the Traction OFF lamp to be illuminated:
^ DTC P0101 - Mass Air Flow System Performance
^ DTC P0102- Mass Air Flow Sensor Circuit Low Frequency
^ DTC P0103 - Mass Air Flow Sensor Circuit High Frequency
^ DTC P0171 - Fuel Trim System Lean
^ DTC P0172 - Fuel Trim System Rich
^ DTC P0300 - Engine Misfire Detected
^ DTC P0336 - 18x Reference Signal Circuit
^ DTC P0341 - Camshaft Position Sensor Performance
^ DTC P1200 - Injector Control Circuit
^ DTC P1374 - 3X Reference Circuit Refer to ABS/TCS for information regarding ABS/TCS operation. Brakes and Traction Control

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.
