  1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
  2. Clean the electronic brake control module (EBCM) to brake pressure modulator valve (BPMV) area of any accumulated dirt and foreign material.
  3. Disconnect the electrical connector from the EBCM.
  4. Remove the 4 EBCM bolts (1).

    5. Object Number: 1961213 Size: SH
  5. Separate the EBCM (1) from the BPMV by carefully pulling the components apart.

Installation Procedure

    Object Number: 1961213 Size: SH
  1. Clean the sealing surface of the BPMV with denatured alcohol and a clean shop cloth.
  2. Carefully install the EBCM (1) to the BPMV.
