Q: How to replace the ABS Control Module with Brake Pressure Modulator Valve on Cadillac CTS?
A: Before starting the brake pressure modulator valve replacement begin by turning off the Ignition Switch to avoid equipment damage. You should lift the vehicle while supporting it and afterward take out the right front wheelhouse liner. After removing fasteners which attach the washer solvent container you can move it to a safe position to expose the ABS Control Module. Start by cleaning all surfaces near the ABS Control Module while you push the retaining tab to expose the locking lever followed by its forward rotation. Squeeze the retaining tab on the ABS Control Module electric connector to unlock it forward. Remove the ABS Control Module screws and dismantle the ABS Control Module from the brake pressure modulator valve (BPMV). Install the ABS Control Module to the bpmv after cleaning its sealing surfaces and fasten it with ABS Control Module screws following the tightness sequence of 1-4 to a torque of 5 nm (44 lb in). Reconnect the ABS Control Module electrical connector after which move the washer solvent container into position and fasten all components. Put back the right front wheelhouse liner before lowering the vehicle. Programming of the new ABS Control Module must be done if one is being installed. The diagnostic system check - vehicle should be the last step in completing this procedure.
Q: How to replace the ABS Control Module on Cadillac SRX?
A: The first step to replace the ABS Control Module (ABSCM) requires turning the ignition OFF because this prevents equipment damage. You should support the vehicle before removing the air deflector shield and the right front wheelhouse liner. The washer solvent container stays in place without removal but its bracket should be detached. Apply thorough cleaning of the ABSCM area because dirtying the ABS components during disassembly endangers their operation. Use your fingers to push the connector retainer to unlock it. Then pull the connector tab forward to separate the ABSCM electrical connector which you should keep aside. Wash away the four ABSCM to brake pressure modulator valve (BPMV) screws and clean all ABSCM/BPMV surface areas. The repair of ABSCM is not possible so replace it when it fails by disconnecting the ABSCM component from the BPMV. Place the new ABSCM unit onto the BPMV with correct alignment of the internal pump motor connector. Then secure the installation by covering the BPMV seal surface. Embed the ABSCM to BPMV with new screws following a sequence of tightening from 1 to 4 until they reach 5 Nm (44 inch lbs.). Put the ABSCM electrical connector onto the ABSCM unit and push the connector tab to the back until it secures into position. The installation process includes putting back the washer solvent container bracket followed by the wheelhouse liner and air deflector shield. Then raise the vehicle. The scan tool will allow clearing of DTCs and performing an ABS Diagnostic System Check.
Q: How to replace the ABS Control Module on Cadillac XLR?
A: The first step in repairing the ABS Control Module requires an off position on the ignition switch and complete negative Battery Cable removal. Start by raising and supporting the vehicle before cleaning the surroundings of the ABS Control Module and the brake pressure modulator valve (BPMV) free of dust accumulation. After disconnecting the ABS Control Module electrical connector you need to remove its bolts. The ABS Control Module should glide smoothly from the bpmv without employing any pry or force on the components. Apply denatured alcohol for cleaning the mating surfaces between ABS Control Module and bpmv before they turn dry. When installing press the ABS Control Module directly onto the bpmv without applying unnecessary force to join the parts. Secure the ABS Control Module bolts by using a cross pattern sequence when tightening them to 3 nm (27 lb in). The negative Battery Cable regains its position while connecting the ABS Control Module electrical connector. Services programming system (SPS) must be used to program a newly installed ABS Control Module. Conduct the diagnostic system check - vehicle as the last step to complete the process.
