Misfire Detected - Rough Road Data Not Available

on 2012 Cadillac Escalade 6.2L V8 · 4WD

What this code means

The PCM detected engine misfires but cannot access rough road data from the Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) to distinguish between actual misfires and crankshaft speed variations caused by rough road surfaces. The EBCM uses wheel speed sensors to detect rough road conditions.

Symptoms

  • Check Engine Light
  • Possible misfires
  • Rough running
  • Poor performance
  • MIL may flash during misfire

Common causes

  • ABS module malfunction preventing rough road detection
  • Actual engine misfire with coincidental ABS issue
  • Wheel speed sensor failure
  • Communication fault between PCM and EBCM
  • Spark plug or ignition coil failure
  • Vacuum leak

Diagnostic steps

  1. Check for ABS/EBCM related codes first
  2. Inspect wheel speed sensors
  3. Test communication between PCM and EBCM
  4. If misfires are confirmed, check ignition and fuel systems
  5. Repair other codes before addressing P1380

Repair notes

Repair ABS/EBCM related codes first. If actual misfires exist, diagnose ignition and fuel systems separately. Clear code and retest.

⚠ STILL BEHIND THE PAYWALL
The 2012 Cadillac Escalade repair data is incomplete because no one has sponsored it yet. For $99, we generate the full step-by-step procedures, then fact-check them with a second AI pass and your expert review. Your name on every procedure, permanently.
The same data would cost $169/mo from Mitchell1 or $30/year from ALLDATAdiy — and you'd be renting access, not freeing it. Sponsor once, free forever.
