If you are having trouble with your DIC flashing check your Traction control and check your anti lock brakes,and everybody tells you that it is a $900 BCM that needs to be replaced, Take a cotton ball soaked in Alcohol and clean the chip on your key. Fixed my problem and saved $899

Electronic Brake Control Module, EBCM?

BCM (body control module) is the box behind the passenger footwell.

I've heard cleaning the pellet is sometimes a remedy for a Pull Key Wait 10 Seconds message, but don't see how it'd have anything to do with brake/traction messages.

More likely getting an intermittent Traction Control/Brake message and just the process of pulling the key out, cleaning it, and restarting clears the message... until it pops back up in the future?

I know, but The EBCM controls ABS and traction control, not the BCM(body control module).
