• Q: How to replace the ABS Control Module on 2003 Cadillac DeVille?

  A: Brake pressure modulator valve (BPMV) replacement requires an entire new assembly because any ebcm screw release apart from the specified one creates a risk of leaks and personal injury. Start the process by turning off the ignition and lift the vehicle while uninstalling the left front wheel along with the left front fascia extension and front air deflector. The area surrounding electronic brake control module (EBCM) and bpmv needs clean-up to avoid contamination. Users should cut the ebcm connector position assurance loose from the ebcm electrical connector during a time when the ignition is off to protect equipment. Clear all brake pipes from the bpmv while safeguarding the vehicle exterior from brake fluid leaks and marking all pipe locations for later installation. Begin by disconnecting the bpmv electrical connector and removing the screws that hold the ebcm to the bpmv. After that separate the bpmv bracket nuts and ebcm/bpmv assembly from the bpmv bracket. Clean the surface area of the ebcm/bpmv assembly which requires immediate replacement if defective. The installation process requires cleaning the bpmv seals before fixing the ebcm to the bpmv using 3.2 nm (28 inch lbs.) of torque. After installing the ebcm/bpmv assembly to the bpmv bracket users must tighten the bracket nuts to a torque value of 10 nm (89 inch lbs.). Connect the wheel and master cylinder brake pipes to the bpmv, tightening them to 15 nm (11 ft. Lbs.)reinstall the ebcm electrical connector then secure the connector tab into its locking position. The left front fascia extension and front air deflector must be reinstalled with the left front wheel after which the vehicle needs lowering to do the auto bleed procedure followed by an abs diagnostic system check.
