• Q: How to replace the ABS Control Module on 2005 Chevrolet Malibu?

  A: Begin replacement of the ABS Control Module when the ignition switch is set to OFF position to safeguard against ABS Control Module/EBTCM damage. First remove all foreign matter from around the ABS Control Module to brake pressure modulator valve (BPMV) while cleaning the area before disconnecting the ABS Control Module electrical connector. The 4 bolts that retain the ABS Control Module to the BPMV should be removed before slowly removing the ABS Control Module while confirming that the motor pin connector comes off with the ABS Control Module because a new connector comes with the replacement part. To perform installation firstly wash the BPMV sealing surface with denatured alcohol by using a cleaning shop cloth then position the ABS Control Module to BPMV electrical terminals and reinstall the ABS Control Module. Secure the 4 retaining bolts with cross-shaped tightening to reach a torque of 5 Nm (44 inch lbs.). The ABS Control Module electrical connector needs proper insertion before the assist locking lever is secured in order to prevent communication problems. You must program a new installed ABS Control Module and conduct an ABS Control Module Programming and Setup that requires the ignition switch in ON status without starting the engine.
