Electronic Brake Control Module Replacement Without JL7

Removal Procedure

Notice: To prevent equipment damage, never connect or disconnect the wiring harness connection from the EBCM with the ignition switch in the ON position.

Important: 

   • The ignition switch must be placed in the OFF mode ONLY, before disconnecting the negative battery cable during this procedure. If the ignition switch is accidentally placed into ignition ON engine OFF mode, the control modules will be activated and disconnecting the negative cable will cause various DTCs to be set. Refer to Keyless Entry System Description and Operation.
   • After the ignition switch is placed into OFF mode, a waiting period of 2 minutes must be observed to allow the high-speed LAN control modules to deactivate before disconnecting or connecting the negative battery cable during this procedure. If the waiting period is not observed, one or more of these control modules may still be activated, causing various DTCs to be set.

  1. Place the ignition switch into OFF mode. DO NOT place the ignition switch into ignition ON engine OFF mode.
  2. Wait a minimum of 2 minutes to allow the high-speed LAN control modules to deactivate.
  3. Disconnect the negative battery cable. Refer to Battery Negative Cable Disconnection and Connection.
  4. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle.
  5. Remove the front air deflector shield. Refer to Front Air Deflector Replacement.
  6. Remove the washer solvent container fasteners and position the washer solvent container aside to access the electronic brake control module (EBCM). Refer to Windshield Washer Solvent Container Replacement.
  7. Thoroughly clean the area around the EBCM of all dirt and debris.
