  2. Remove the front and rear brake pipes (from master cylinder) from the combination valve.
  3. Remove the right front, left front and rear brake pipes from the tube adapters (5).
  4. Remove the four 10 mm bolts that fasten the EHCU bracket (6) to the vehicle mounting bracket.
  5. Lift the EHCU partially out of the engine compartment.
  6. Disconnect the four electrical connectors from EBCM (2).
  7. Fully remove the EHCU from the vehicle.
  8. Remove the three Allen bolts (10) from the combination valve (11).
  9. Remove the combination valve (11).
  10. Important: Do not reuse the transfer tubes. Always install new transfer tubes.

  11. Remove the two transfer tubes (12).
  12. Remove the three 13 mm bolts (9) that fasten the EHCU mounting bracket (6) to the BPMV (3).
  13. Remove the four T-25 Torx® bolts (1) from the EBCM (2).
  14. Important: Do not use a tool to pry the EBCM or the BPMV. Excessive force will damage the EBCM.

    Important: Do not reuse the EBCM mounting bolts (1). Always install new bolts.

  15. Remove the EBCM (2) from the BPMV (3). Removal may require a light amount of force.

Installation Procedure


    Object Number: 394907  Size: SH
  1. Install the new transfer tubes (12) into the combination valve (11).
  2. Install the combination valve (11) onto the BPMV (3).
  3. 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.

  4. Install the three Allen bolts (10) that fasten the combination valve (11) to the BPMV (3).
  5. Tighten
    Tighten the three Allen bolts to 8 N·m (6 lb ft), then to 16 N·m (12 lb ft).

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

  6. Install EBCM (2) onto BPMV (3).
  7. Important: Do not reuse the old mounting bolts. Always install new bolts with the new EBCM.

  8. Install the four EBCM bolts (1).
  9. Tighten
    Tighten the four bolts to 5 N·m (39 lb in) in an X-pattern.

  10. Install BPMV (4) to bracket (6).
  11. Install the three BPMV to bracket retaining bolts (8).
  12. Tighten
    Tighten the three bolts to 9 N·m (7 lb ft).

  13. Connect the four electrical connectors to the EBCM (2).
  14. Install the EHCU to the vehicle frame.
  15. Tighten
    Tighten the three bolts to 12 N·m (9 lb ft).

  16. Install the right front, left front and rear brake pipes to the tube adapters (5).
