Brake Pressure Modulator Valve Assembly Replacement Without VSC

Removal Procedure


    Object Number: 1470022  Size: SH
  1. Release the electronic brake control module (EBCM) harness connector lock lever (1).
  2. Disconnect the EBCM harness connector (2).

  3. Object Number: 1470020  Size: SH
  4. Remove the 6 brake pipes from the brake modulator assembly (1).
  5. Plug the brake pipes in order to prevent loss or contamination of brake fluid.
  6. Remove the 2 bolts (2) from the brake pressure modulator bracket (3).

  7. Object Number: 819497  Size: SH
  8. Remove the nut (1) and the brake pressure modulator assembly and bracket.
  9. Remove 2 nuts and the brake pressure modulator assembly from the bracket.

Installation Procedure

    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 brake pressure modulator assembly to the bracket. Secure with the 2 nuts.
  2. Tighten
    Tighten the brake modulator assembly nuts to 6 N·m (53 lb in).


    Object Number: 819497  Size: SH
  3. Install the brake pressure modulator assembly and bracket. Secure with the nut (1).
  4. Tighten
    Tighten the brake modulator bracket nut to 20 N·m (15 lb ft).


    Object Number: 1470020  Size: SH
  5. Install the 2 bolts (2) to the brake pressure modulator bracket (3).
  6. Tighten
    Tighten the brake modulator bracket bolts to 20 N·m (15 lb ft).

  7. Remove the plugs from the brake pipes and connect the brake pipes to the brake modulator assembly (1).
  8. Tighten
    Tighten the brake pipe fittings nuts to 15 N·m (11 lb ft).


    Object Number: 1470022  Size: SH
  9. Connect the EBCM electrical connector (2).
  10. Secure the EBCM electrical connector lock lever (1).
