ABS Pump Motor Circuit Open or Shorted
C0267 — ABS Pump Motor Circuit Open or Shorted
System: Chassis | Type: Generic (OBD-II Standard) | Make: Holden
C0267 is a generic (obd-ii standard) chassis diagnostic trouble code recorded for Holden vehicles. It belongs to the C-prefix family of codes, which covers chassis, braking, steering, suspension, or stability-control faults.
When C0267 is stored, the module has detected an open (broken or disconnected) electrical path in the monitored circuit; and a short-circuit (voltage pulled to ground or to supply) in the monitored circuit.
Scanning & clearing: Chassis (C) codes are stored in the ABS, traction control, or stability-control modules. An enhanced or OEM-level scan tool is usually required to read and clear them.
Because C0267 is a generic OBD-II code, its base definition is shared across manufacturers. The specific diagnostic steps, reference values, and repair procedures can vary by vehicle, and the TaT Diagnostic Assistant includes verified procedures submitted by working technicians.
On Holden vehicles, the Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) drives the ABS pump motor to build the hydraulic pressure used during ABS, traction control, and stability control events, and it monitors the motor circuit for correct continuity and current draw. DTC C0267 is set when the EBCM detects an open circuit, excessive resistance, or a short to earth or battery voltage in the ABS pump motor circuit, either during an active braking event or during a module initiated self test. Because the pump motor draws high current, this circuit is sensitive to poor connections, corroded grounds, and l...
