• Q: How to replace the ABS Control Module on 2004 Chevrolet Malibu?

  A: An essential first step to replace the ABS Control Module requires setting the ignition switch to OFF to avoid causing any harm to ABS Control Module components. The ABS Control Module located at brake pressure modulator valve (BPMV) requires its surrounding area to be cleaned before disconnecting the electrical connector from the ABS Control Module. The 4 ABS Control Module-to-BPMV retaining bolts must be removed to separate the ABS Control Module from the BPMV while inspecting that the motor pin connector comes out with the ABS Control Module since it comes with a new replacement motor pin connector. The BPMV needs cleaning with denatured alcohol and a shop cloth before the ABS Control Module should be aligned for installation onto the BPMV. Place the 4 ABS Control Module-to-BPMV retaining bolts in opposition to each other and tighten them to 5 Nm (44 inch lbs.). The correct alignment of the ABS Control Module electrical connector is essential before mounting the assist locking lever to prevent communication problems. Before connecting the electrical connector to the ABS Control Module users must program a new ABS Control Module without engine start but with a turned-on ignition switch. The protocol requires conducting the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Information as the final step.
