Caution: Do not pry EBCM/EBTCM. Be careful not to damage seal (if reusing module). If seal is damaged during removal, repair damaged area using GM P/N 123456739 silicone sealer or replace EBCM/EBTCM.

Important: You may not repair the EBCM/EBTCM. If the assembly is faulty, replace the EBCM/EBTCM as an assembly.

1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
2. Remove the air cleaner assembly and the PCM cover. Refer to Air Cleaner Assembly Replacement in Engine Controls - 3.8L.
3. Disconnect the EBCM/EBTCM harness connector.



4. Remove the front EBCM/EBTCM bracket from the vehicle (5).
5. Remove the EBCM/EBTCM center bracket mounting bolt (4).



6. Remove the 4 EBCM/EBTCM to the BPMV bolts (1).

1. Clean the EBCM/EBTCM seal and the BPMV gasket surface using alcohol.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

2. Install the EBCM/EBTCM to the BPMV.
