FaultCrate・Service Brake Booster message on a Hydroboost vehicle with DTC C0136 (instrument cluster not SPS programmed)
There have been reports of the Service Brake Booster message being displayed on vehicles equipped with a Hydroboost brake system.
The Service Brake Booster message notifies the driver of a Supplemental Brake Assist (SBA) concern on vehicles with a vacuum boost brake system.
The message could be caused by the IPC being programmed incorrectly.
If the IPC was replaced in an earlier unrelated repair and was not SPS programmed, the message is displayed after the IPC does not receive a valid state of health signal from the SBA for 5 consecutive ignition cycles.
How to tell
What to do
- During normal diagnostics a DTC C0136 may be present in the IPC; this DTC is not in SI for Sport Utility vehicles, because all Sport Utilities use Hydroboost brake systems starting in 2004.
- To be sure the vehicle is repaired, cycle the ignition off and on at least 5 consecutive times, staying in each position at least 30 seconds.
- To correct the concern, SPS program the IPC.
Applies to
- Applies to all full-size 2004 Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC trucks and utilities with the Hydroboost brake system.
