• Q: How to replace the ABS Control Module on 2000 Buick Regal?

  A: Starting the replacement process of the brake pressure modulator valve (BPMV) begins by switching the ignition to off. You should detach the bolts that secure the Cruise Control Module before moving it away from the simulation area. Microring the red locking mechanism on the connector while lowering the lock tab will enable disconnecting the ebcm harness connector by sliding its cover open. Record the position of brake pipes because they will be used for the installation process. The procedure demands the removal of wheel cylinder brake pipes from the bpmv to secure them with coverings for preventing condensation or material contamination. You should leave the master cylinder brake pipes attached to the bpmv while disconnecting them and then use protective covers to block the opened pipes. Begin the bpmv mounting bracket removal process by removing both mounting bracket nuts and one bolt nearby the bottom section in addition to the top bracket nut situated at the strut tower. Disconnect the ground strap between the ebcm assembly and chassis while removing the bpmv mounting bracket and ebcm assembly from the motor vehicle by protecting the exterior area from brake fluid spills. Unfasten the four bolts which maintain bpmv attachment to mounting bracket connection. The process begins by mounting an ebcm to a bpmv before you should assemble the bpmv with ebcm as a single unit to the mounting bracket . Tighten the four bolts securing the bpmv assembly to the mounting bracket to 10 nm (84 inch lbs.), following which mount the bpmv bracket onto the strut tower and fasten with a bolt and three nuts. By using tools to achieve 10 nm (84 inch lbs.) torque values secure both lower bpmv mounting bracket nuts and bolt while the upper bpmv mounting bracket nut requires 3 nm (26 inch lbs.) torque. New bpmv installations demand users to remove the shipping plugs found at the opening of each valve. Proper installation of brake connection to the bpmv will prevent wheel lockup situations that can be diagnosed with a scan tool or antilock stop testing. The master cylinder brake pipes need installation into the bpmv while torquing each fitting to 24 nm (18 ft. Lbs.) before moving on to installing wheel cylinder brake pipes onto the bpmv with torques at 24 nm (18 lb ft). To finish the repair connect the ebcm harness connector followed by pushing down the lock tab then return the sliding connector cover to its locked position. Reinstall the Cruise Control Module while you put the red locking tab in its proper position and execute the automated abs bleed process.
