IDB_a013 — Motor Pos Sensor Fault

Full alert identifier: IDB_a013_motorPosSensorFault

Alert description

An IDB motor position sensor issue has occured.

Potential impact

Only Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) may be available. The IDB enters fallback mode and relinquishes controlling status to the Redundant Control Unit (RCU). The RCU may assume controlling status and perform backup brake boost, but Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), Brake Traction Control (BTC), Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC), Panic Brake Assist (PBA), Hydraulic Fade Compenration (HFC), Controlled Deceleration via Parking brake (CDP), Brake Disc Wipe (BDW), External Brake Request (EBR), and Secondary Collision Mitigation (SCM) may be unavailable. Increased braking effort may be necessary to achieve desired deceleration. The vehicle should be driven with extreme caution.

Set condition

A hydraulic pump motor position sensor issue is detected.

Clear condition

Clears when no motor position issue is detected at the start of the next power cycle. If the condition persists, the IDB module may require replacement.
