Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Electronic Brake Control Module
Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) is mounted directly to BPMV. EBCM receives input from Powertrain Control Module (PCM), wheel speed sensors, steering sensor and brake switch. EBCM outputs information to PCM and BPMV.
EBCM determines when to activate TCS and how to respond to a particular situation requiring TCS. TCS intervention is achieved using one or more of the following: spark retard (timing), turning off fuel injectors or brake intervention. EBCM also disables TCS when engine is off, with ignition on (when vehicle is being towed).
