What happens when the EBCM does not work?
The EBCM reads all of the braking system’s sensors and activates the ABS or traction control system when it detects it is necessary. When the EBCM fails it can disable the ABS and sometimes cause issues with braking the vehicle.
Where are the electrical harnesses on an EBCM?
There should be two electrical harnesses on the left side of the EBCM. Using a flat blade screwdriver, pry the clips from the harnesses carefully and remove with your hands. Step 5: Remove torx screws from EBCM. This unit is typically attached to a bottom plate with torx screws.
What does an EBCM do in an ABS system?
ABS systems is controlled by electronic brake control modules (EBCM) which monitors sensors and relays data for smooth and safe braking.
Can a pressure plate be replaced in an EBCM?
If you do not feel comfortable completing this job, always defer to an ASE certified mechanic. Replacement parts for the EBCM typically include the module itself. On some vehicles, the EBCM connects to a pressure plate (BPMV in the image above) which has several male electrical fittings that connect into the EBCM.

When does the EBCM need to be replaced?
When the EBCM is compromised, the ability of the ABS system to work is reduced. One of the physical symptoms is that the tires may lock up during emergency braking. If this occurs, it’s a good indicator that an electrical sensor or the EBCM is damaged and needs to be replaced as soon as possible. The brakes pulsate when applied.

Where is the EBCM located on a car?
The EBCM is typically installed in the engine compartment on most vehicles made after 1995. It’s attached to a series of electrical harnesses that are attached to sensors that send data to the EBCM. When the EBCM receives this data, it’s able to relay information to and from the vehicle’s primary Electronic Control Module.
