Testing Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1999 Buick Regal and 1999 Buick Century. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Pump motor is part of Brake Pressure Modulator Valve (BPMV) and is not serviceable separately.
NOTE:
Solenoid valve control relay is integral to the EBCM/EBTCM and is not serviceable separately.
- Perform DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK . After performing diagnostic system check, go to next step.
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect EBCM/EBTCM connector. Connect pinout box and adapter cable to harness connector only. Using DVOM, measure resistance between pinout box terminal "D" and ground. If resistance is 0-2 ohms, go to step 4 . If resistance is not 0-2 ohms, go to next step.
- Repair circuit No. 251B for open or high resistance.
- Remove EBCM/EBTCM from BPMV and inspect for damage, corrosion, or presence of brake fluid. If okay, go to step 6 . If damage, corrosion, or presence of brake fluid exist, go to next step.
- Replace EBCM/EBTCM and/or BPMV assemblies.
- Replace BPMV. After repairs, go to step 7 .
- Reconnect all connectors and clear all DTCs. Turn ignition off then on. If DTC 1243 sets, go to next step. If no current DTCs are set, see INTERMITTENTS & POOR CONNECTIONS under DIAGNOSIS & TESTING.
- Replace EBCM/EBTCM.
