FaultCrate・GMC Yukon 2000–2006・2003
Candidate cause (the documents say what to do)
ABS light with C0265/C0201/U1041 or no communication with brake module (EBCM ground G110)
Upon inspection, DTCs C0265 and C0201 may be set in the brake module.
There may also be a loss of communication with the brake module.
How to tell
C0201C0265U1041ABS light
What to do
- The EBCM ground is on the frame beneath the driver's door; among several grounds it is the heavy 12-gauge wire.
- The battery-cable-to-frame ground can cause similar ABS symptoms and can be checked as well.
- Clean the area, front and back, using a tool such as a Scotch-Brite Roloc disc or equivalent.
- Use the bolts, washers and nuts specified in the bulletin because of their conductive finish.
- Cover the front and back of the repair area with rubberized undercoating.
Caution: Do not replace the brake module for this condition; do the ground repair before further EBCM diagnosis.
What is needed
- Parts and materials
- The bolts, washers and nuts specified in the bulletin (for their conductive finish)
- Rubberized undercoating (to cover the front and back of the repair area)
- Labor time
- Not stated
- Special tools
- Not stated

A cause or a result a complaint states is the owner’s view or what a dealer told them, not an established fact.
Put together by FaultCrate from public records and technical documents. The cause and the repair are for the workshop to decide with the vehicle in front of it. Counts are records, not failure rates.
