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.
Installation Procedure
- If installing a new BPMV, install the EBCM. Refer to Electronic Brake Control Module Replacement (With JL4)Β .
- Install the brake control module assembly to the BPMV bracket until the mounting pins are fully inserted in the bracket insulators.
- Install the BPMV bolt (1).
Tighten:Β Tighten the bolt to 11 N.m (97 lb in).
- Connect the LR brake pipe fitting (1).
Tighten:Β Tighten the fitting to 21 N.m (15 lb ft).
- Connect the RR brake pipe fitting (1).
Tighten:Β Tighten the fitting to 21 N.m (15 lb ft).
- Connect the RF brake pipe fitting (1).
Tighten:Β Tighten the fitting to 21 N.m (15 lb ft).
- Connect the LF brake pipe fitting (1).
Tighten:Β Tighten the fitting to 21 N.m (15 lb ft).
- Connect the master cylinder secondary brake pipe fitting (1).
Tighten:Β Tighten the fitting to 21 N.m (15 lb ft).
- Connect the master cylinder primary brake pipe fitting (1).
Tighten:Β Tighten the fitting to 21 N.m (15 lb ft).

- Install the cover to the ECM and the TCM.
- Bleed the hydraulic brake system. Refer to Hydraulic Brake System Bleeding (Manual) or Hydraulic Brake System Bleeding (Pressure) .
- Program the EBCM. Refer to Service Programming System (SPS) .
- Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle .
- Observe the brake pedal feel after performing the diagnostic system check. If the pedal now feels spongy, air may have been in the secondary hydraulic circuit of the brake modulator which may have been introduced into the primary circuit. If the pedal feels spongy, perform the Antilock Brake System Automated Bleed ProcedureΒ .
