Default Electreonic Brake Control Module (EBCM)

Anyone have pics of what this part looks like? I need to replace mine and I cant find any pictures of it for reference. Can anyone take a photo of where it is located on an SS?

I went by Chevrolet here in Houston and they do not have a photo in their database. I have not had an opportunity to take the SS to the dealership (I drive a malibu as the daily)

Man! That is a great picture of a box and a plastic bag! Bwahahaha!

Mike, Thanks for the help bro! I will sell the Cat's if I can fit new ones in my budget.

Can someone take a picture of one under the hood so I can see where this thing is?

Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM)
Location - Mounted with brake pressure modulator valve on the top of the left front frame rail
In the attached diagram, the EBCM is #2.

Description of what the EBCM does:

Quote:
Electronic Brake And Traction Control Module
The EBCM/EBTCM performs the following primary functions:

Detects wheel slip tendencies
Detects wheel speed differences
Controls the brake system while in the antilock or traction control mode
Controls the Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD)
Monitors the system for proper electrical operation

The EBCM/EBTCM also controls the display of the ABS and traction control DTCs while in diagnostic mode. The EBCM/EBTCM continuously checks the speed of each wheel in order to determine if any wheel is beginning to slip. If a wheel slip tendency is detected, the EBCM/EBTCM commands the appropriate valve positions to modulate the brake fluid pressure in some or all of the hydraulic circuits. This action prevents wheel slip and provides optimum braking. The EBCM/EBTCM continues to control pressure in the individual hydraulic circuits until a slipping tendency is no longer present. The EBCM/EBTCM continuously monitors the ABS/TCS for proper operation. If an error is detected, the EBCM/EBTCM can disable the ABS/TCS and turn on the ABS or TCS OFF Indicators in the IPC.


Here is the picture

Is this on a vette if so your best bet would be to do a search on corvette forum. I am having problems with mine and it is quite pricey to fix. I have heard good things about this guy called the abs doctor or something along those lines. He will fix your old unit and send it back to for like $150 or so compared to like a $1000 at the dealership.

Nope. This is on an SS. The dealership charged me $100 to tell me what was wrong with it. The EBCM has to be replaced.

what is you car doing why you took it to the dealer ship? Was you tc off light coming on with the brake light and abs inop light also? Thats what mine has been doing. Some times the lights come on right when you turn the key on and some times you can drive it for 20-30 minutes before the light pop on. Some time they don't come on at all. I am tring to find out whats wrong with mine also.

Exactly! what happend to mine. Same issues...all three lights come on...some times they don't but eventually they will especially after around 20 min. of driving.

Im riding dirty, I havent been able to get my car inspected for over a year now (She sits in the garrage) I take her out at least once every 2 weeks around the block.

WoW! thanks for posting about this issue. My Camaro Z28 2000 5.7L V8 has also been having the some problems. I've been getting the following lights popping-up on my dashboard as follows.... ASR off, Break and ABS Nop.

I had just breaks pull the ABS reading for me and here's what the codes translated.

C0896 - Device Performance range voltage

C0550 - EBCM

Is the picture listed an EBCM for my camaro? If so GM said that only 99-02 will work not anything later.
I also found the link where you can buy an EBCM here > http://www.ebcmdirect.com/products/C..._14494_rnr.htm
Does anyone know if the one being sold on the websites comes with electronic traction control?
