Important: The above condition may also occur, to a much lesser extent, on all lighter GVW vans. This will NOT occur on Cut-away/Cab-Chassis/Cube/RV vans.

Correction

Replace the electronic brake control module. Refer to the Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) Replacement procedure in the ABS/Traction Control sub-section of the Service Manual (SI Document ID #893022). Use the new part numbers listed below.
