Default ABSfixer.com Does anyone know them?

I need to check and service my EBCM. Does anyone know Brandon Hite- owner of ABSfixer.com?

Can anyone that can recommend him?

I used Brandon's service to fix my ABS module last year. Quick turn around - 3 days - and everything worked properly. His charge is SUBSTANTIALLY less than the stealership price on a new module. I would definitely recommend him.

I used him for mine - quick turn around, fixed problem and a warranty. If you are a real diy person, there was a thread in the tech section where someone took theirs apart and fixed it themselves for less than $35. IIRC it just involves some soldering. Good luck with it.

I've used him on 2 Corvettes and my tow vehicle, just as stated above. Also I had one car that had an issue with a brake pressure sensor, when I called Brandon and asked if his service would fix that issue he was honest and told me just which issues his service fixed and saved me from spending an extra $150. So good, honest and like stated above quick turn around.

Thanks so much guys! I'll have him look at it. This was 1/2 the cause of my wall incident.

Anybody know why he cannot fix the early units? I sent him mine several years back and he warned me he could probably not repair it, but I convinced him to give it a shot. He was correct, but a stand up guy and didn't even charge. I went through hell trying to get a rebuilt, and ended up buying a brand new gm unit. Back then they were under $400. Now they are crazy expensive. Mine is a '99.

What was the problem with the EBCM?


I have a 97 that hasn't worked in 4 years and I've swapped out for a 98 EBCM and just cant figure it out. In normal street driving sup 100 mph no issues, but when I get out on the track, it cuts out after I hit over 120 or so mph on the back straight.

I replaced the wheel hubs and speed sensors, put in new connectors, and still I get random communication code errors.

The good this is I have learned to drive the crap out of the car w/o ABS, but having it back would be AWESOME.

Any one know someone who can diagnose and fix the issue. At this point I would definately be willing to say Uncle.

My car was having over active pump problems. Every time I pushed on the brake pedal the pump would start running No matter how hard I would push on the pedal it would go into ABS mode. Didn't really hurt slowing the car down but wasn't right. In a short 60 days I will find if my throwing parts at it will help!

I've posted the same question before on another section, but why can't absfixer repair the older (mine is a '99) units? A couple years ago I convinced him to attempt a repair on mine. He told me he didn't think it would work, but tried anyway. Sure enough, it didn't work. He didn't even charge me. I went through absolute hell with some other company (you can search in the C5 tech forum and read about my experience) that completely screwed me. In the end I purchased a brand new gm unit, but now those are crazy expensive. I just don't see how different the earlier units are that they cannot be repaired by absfixer. There are other companies that claim they can do the fix, but after what I went through I wouldn't waste my time.

So the new GM unit worked? If I knew a new one would work I would just contact GM Parts House.

I have EFI live and wonder if there are some settings to soften the sensativity of the ABS tolerance before it just shuts off... such as in the case of running larger tires front to rear or any other variables to keep the ABS working even if it only kicks in late.

I'm just not sure what's happening with the Rear EBCM vs some of the ones you guys have in the front either. At least I don;t have to worry about power steering fluid dripping on it, but then it's right between the 2 mufflers that come off headers, probably not the ideal environment either.

THanks Randy,

Let us know how it goes.
