Electronic Brake Control Module

The Electronic Brake Control Unit (EBCM) is a self contained non-repairable unit consisting of 2 microprocessors and the necessary circuitry for their operation. These microprocessors are programmed identically.

The controller monitors system operation during normal driving as well as during anti-lock braking. Under normal driving conditions, the microprocessors send short test pulses to the solenoid valves that check the electrical system.

Wheel lock conditions trigger signals from the EBCM that open and close the appropriate solenoid valves and open the main valve which supplies pressure to a reaction sleeve. This results in moderate pulsations in the brake pedal accompanied by a change in pedal height. During normal braking, the brake pedal feel will be identical to a standard brake system.
