Removal Procedure

  1. Refer to

    Caution: Unless directed otherwise, the ignition and start switch must be in the OFF or LOCK position, and all electrical loads must be OFF before servicing any electrical component. Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent an electrical spark should a tool or equipment come in contact with an exposed electrical terminal. Failure to follow these precautions may result in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or its components.

    in Cautions and Notices.
  2. Disconnect the Negative Battery Cable.

  3. Remove the three EBCM electrical connectors.
  4. Remove the combination valve electrical connector.
  5. Remove the five brake lines from the BPMV.
  6. Remove the BPMV pump motor electrical connector from the EBCM.

  7. Object Number: 156565  Size: SH
  8. Remove the four T-25 TORX® bolts that fasten the EBCM to the BPMV.
  9. Important: Do not use a tool to pry the EBCM from the BPMV. Excessive force will damage the EBCM.

  10. Remove the EBCM from the BPMV (2). Removal may require a light amount of force.
  11. Remove the three BPMV mounting bracket nuts (3) and washers (4).
  12. Remove the BPMV (4) from the EHCU mounting bracket (2).
  13. Clean the BPMV (1) with a clean, dry cloth.

Installation Procedure

Important: Do not reuse the EBCM mounting bolts. Always install new EBCM mounting bolts with the new EBCM.

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.

  1. Install the BPMV (4) onto the EHCU (7) mounting bracket.
  2. Tighten
    Tighten the three BPMV mounting bolts (9) to 9 N·m (7l lb ft).
