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.
Is the ABS part of the traction control system?
The ABS and traction control are part of the same system. The electronic brake control module (EBCM) receives input from the wheel speed sensors, as well as other vehicle sensors.
When to replace an electronic brake control module ( EBCM )?
When this occurs, you’ll have to replace the electronic brake control module. 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.
How to tell if your EBCM needs to be replaced?
Noted below are some signs you can watch for that may signal that your EBCM has stopped working prematurely and will need to be replaced: The ABS light illuminates on the dashboard. Typically the first indicator that the EBCM is damaged, is that the ABS system light will illuminate on the dashboard.
Is the ABS module also called an EBCM?
Yes, an ABS module is also called an Electronic Brake and Traction Control Module on some vehicles. You may see this shortened to EBCM by some manufacturers (GM likes to do this). Reply

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.
How do you remove wire from ABS EBCM?
2 – You will probably need to remove the airbridge to get to the EBCM. 3 – Remove the wire harness by first removing the white plastic clip that locks it in place, then lift gray handle and pull back on the wire harness. At this point, you will be able to see the second wire connection that is removed by pulling down.
