Electronic Brake Control Module: Description and Operation

ABS CONTROL MODULE (EBTCM)
The ABS control module monitors the speed of each wheel to detect wheel slip. If wheel slip is detected, the module commands the appropriate valve positions in the valve assembly to modulate brake pressure in some or all of the hydraulic circuits. This action prevents wheel slip and provides optimum braking. In addition, the ABS control module performs a continuous diagnostic routine to detect malfunctions. If the module detects an electrical malfunction, it can disable ABS/TCS/DRP, illuminate the appropriate telltale and store a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).
The ABS control module contains a solenoid for each ABS/TCS valve it operates and a relay for the solenoid circuit and pump motor circuit respectively. The relays and solenoids are not serviceable.
