Greetings and Welcome to the forum. The EBCM is the electronic brake control module (one of the 5 computers that our cars have on board.) A failure of the EBCM will generally cause an incurable "Service ABS" "Service Traction Control" error code and message on the DIC. A failing battery can cause these symptoms as well but replacing the battery will make them go away, where with the EBCM issue they will not reset with a new battery.

It seems if you read the posts lately that it is widespread, but if you think of the thousands of C5 drivers on this forum, 15-20 people having the problem is fairly insignificant, unless you're one of them, like me. Don't get too worried, but if your ABS, TC and AH (if yours has it) all go out, it's a likely suspect.
Thanks for the catch. Fixed it. :o
