C0110 on Cadillac vehicles indicates abs pump motor circuit malfunction. Au7o has documented this code across 1 Cadillac model — most commonly on XTS. This code indicates a problem in the ABS pump motor circuit. The pump motor pressurizes brake fluid so the ABS and stability systems can rapidly modulate the brakes, and the control module detected an electrical fault — such as an open, short, or failure to run when commanded. With the pump unavailable, ABS and stability/traction control are typically disabled, though the conventional hydraulic brakes still function. The warning lights for ABS and traction usually illuminate. Typical repair costs on Cadillac range from $400 to $900, depending on the specific model and root cause.

Common Causes of C0110

  • •Failed ABS pump motor
  • •Faulty pump motor relay
  • •Open or shorted pump motor circuit/wiring
  • •Corroded or loose ABS module connector
  • •Poor ground to the ABS hydraulic unit
  • •Low battery voltage or weak charging system
  • •Internal failure of the EBCM/ABS module

  • Electronic Parking Brake Actuator Failure2013-2019

    The electronic parking brake actuator motors on the rear calipers fail, either failing to apply or release the parking brake. A failed actuator can leave the parking brake stuck on one side, causing brake drag, heat, and uneven wear. The actuators are integrated into the rear brake calipers.
