  8. Remove the EHCU from the vehicle.
  9. Remove the four T-25 TORX® screws (1) that fasten the EBCM (2) to the BPMV (4).

    10. Important: Do not use a tool to pry the EBCM or the BPMV. Excessive force will damage the EBCM.

  10. Remove the EBCM from the BPMV.
  11. Check gasket (3) for wear or damage. Replace if worn or damaged.
  12. Remove three Allen bolts (11) from the combination valve.

Installation Procedure
  1. Install new transfer tubes (13) into the combination valve (12) until fully seated.
  2. Install combination valve (12) to the BPMV (4).
  3. Install three Allen bolts (11) that fasten the combination valve to the BPMV.

    4. Important: Do not use RTV or any other type of sealant on the EBCM gasket or mating surfaces.

  4. Install EBCM to the BPMV.

    5. 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.
