C1275 SATURN Description
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors various parameters. The PCM sets the OBDII code and will not allow traction control operation if any parameter falls outside a specified range. The PCM diagnoses a condition preventing the engine control portion of the traction control function and sends a serial data message to the Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) indicating that torque reduction is not allowed. The PCM will typically set a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) and the EBCM will set this DTC.
