Removal Procedure

Caution: Refer to Brake Dust Caution in the Preface section.

Caution: Refer to Brake Fluid Irritant Caution in the Preface section.

Notice: Refer to Brake Fluid Effects on Paint and Electrical Components Notice in the Preface section.

    Important: Thoroughly wash all contaminants from around the EHCU. The area around the EHCU must be free from loose dirt to prevent contamination of disassembled ABS components.

  1. Disconnect the two electrical harness connectors from the EBCM (2).
  2. Important: Make sure that brake lines are tagged and kept in order for proper reassembly.

  3. Disconnect the 5 brake lines from the BPMV (3).

  4. Object Number: 550743  Size: SH
  5. Remove 2 bolts (4) securing the BPMV mounting bracket (5) to the BPMV (3).
  6. Disconnect the 2 way ABS pump motor connector.
  7. Remove the four T-25 TORX® screws (1) from the EBCM (2).
  8. Important: Do not use a tool to pry the EBCM or the BPMV. Excessive force will damage the EBCM.

  9. Remove the EBCM (2) from the BPMV (3). Removal may require a light amount of force.
  10. Important: Do not reuse the EBCM mounting bolts. Always install new bolts.

  11. Clean the EBCM (2) to BPMV (3) mounting surfaces with a clean cloth.

Installation Procedure


    Object Number: 550743  Size: SH

    Important: Do not use RTV or any other type of sealant on the EBCM gasket or mating surfaces.

  1. Install EBCM (2) onto BPMV (3).
  2. Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

    Important: Do not reuse the old mounting bolts. Always install new bolts with the new BPMV.

  3. Install the four EBCM bolts.
  4. Tighten
    Tighten the four bolts to 5 N·m (39 lb in) in an X-pattern.

  5. Connect the 2 way ABS pump motor connector to the EBCM (2).
  6. Install BPMV (3) to EHCU bracket (5).
  7. Connect the two electrical harness connectors to the EBCM (2).
  8. Important: The brake pipes are held in the proper place by a frame mounted plastic bracket. Make sure that the brake pipes stay in the correct place for proper reassembly.

  9. Install the 5 brake pipes to the BPMV (3).
  10. Tighten
    Tighten the brake pipe fittings to 30 N·m (22 lb ft).

  11. Bleed the brake system. Refer to Antilock Brake System Automated Bleed Procedure .
