  2. Turn ON the ignition.
  3. Check the voltage between terminal 4 and 8 of the EBCM connector.
  4. Check the voltage between terminal 4 and 24 of the EBCM connector.
Were the voltages within the specified range?		 9.4-17 V Go to Step 3  Go to Step 4 
3 Replace the EBCM. Refer to Brake Modulator Assembly Replacement .
Did you find any problem?		 - Go to Step 12  -
4 Check the battery voltage between terminal (+) and (-) of the battery.
Is the voltage within the specified value?		 9.4-17 V Go to Step 6  Go to Step 5 
5 Replace the battery.
Did you complete the replacement?		 - Go to Step 12  -
6 Check the resistance between terminal 4 of the EBCM connector and the terminal (+) of the battery.
Is the resistance less than specified?		 1 Ω Go to Step 8  Go to Step 7

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
