• Q: How to replace the ABS Control Module on 2000 Chevrolet Malibu?

  A: The first task when replacing the brake pressure modulator valve (BPMV) entails removing the battery and battery tray while recording the location of brake pipes for future reinstallation. Begin by disconnecting caliper and Wheel Cylinder brake pipes from the bpmv then covering the exposed ends to stop dripping and contamination. The master cylinder brake pipes should be disconnected in the same manner from the bpmv. Lift the vehicle onto a suitable hoist system after which you should remove both front splash shields and the left engine shield. Detach the connector position assurance (CPA) from the ebcm connector by pushing the lock tab downwards until the sliding connector cover can be moved into an open position to separate the ebcm harness connector from the ebcm . To perform this service drain the vehicle of its bpmv retaining nut before extracting the ebcm/bpmv assembly out from the vehicle. Then use care to separate ebcm from bpmv. Follow this installation process by first attaching the ebcm to bpmv and tightening its four screws until they reach 5 nm torque (44 inch lbs). Afterward, reinstall the ebcm/bpmv assembly into the vehicle and fasten it with 10 nm (7 ft. Lbs.) torque on the bpmv retaining nut. Connect the ebcm harness connector to the ebcm unit followed by pressing down the lock tab before sliding the connector cover into position for locking. Straighten the cpa before inserting it into position then reinstall both left and front engine splash shields while lowering the vehicle. The bpmv brake pipe must connect properly to prevent wheel lockups that can be detected through scan tool antilock detection or by performing an antilock stop. The master cylinder brake pipes need secure attachment to the bpmv while applying torque of 24 nm (18 ft. Lbs.). After that, attach the caliper and Wheel Cylinder brake pipes to the bpmv at the specified torque setting. Install the battery tray followed by the battery and complete the automated bleed procedure and diagnostic system check-abs.
