Throttle Position Controller Module

I have a "SERVICE VEHICLE LIGHT" and brake light on and the code is the ebcm (u1040 and u1000). Replaced the ebcm and still have the code and light. Everything ive looked up is that it could be the Throttle position controller module located under dash...except can't find any pictures or anything saying exactly where it is? Dont wanna start tearing apart dash and be taking off wrong thing. Anyone have pics of location or a link to something on how to go about replacing it?
Its a non-tcs car also.

Thanks

It would help if you told us what vehicle you are working on.

I don't think a 02 Camaro has a throttle position controller module, as they are drive by cable. I could be wrong though.

There is a Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) on the Throttle Body, but that's it. The rest of the mechanism is a cable connection.

If you are still getting the EBCM codes, I would look to a bad EBCM again (did you get a used part???) or a wiring problem before an anciliary sensor. I would expect a TPS problem would throw a TPS code.

Yes a used EBCM. It drives just fine and didn't start getting this till after i replaced my knock sensors and radiator hoses. But i might not worry about it since it drives just like it did before the lights came on.
