Another failed EBCM!
Hey guys,
I'm fairly new here and in need of some help but the first thing I wanna say is that this forum rocks!!!! It has helped me out with so many issues with my 2001.
My problem is with the EBCM i think it has failed with the code C1214. I have searched and done all the suggested troubleshooting such as checking all grounds, cleaning the connectors and checking the wheel sensors. I'm pretty sure the EBCM is shot, so im trying to find a replacment one. Does anyone know of any good hook up's on the part. I have a few options but I thought I would open this up to the forums for help.
Options
1. Get it done by the stealership and pay over $2600 + tax
2. Get my EBCM rebuilt by Modulemaster for around $400 (I'm leaning towards this option)
3. Find the part at a auto wrecker or another vendor
If you guys know where i can get the part fairly cheap or any info on modulemaster i would greatly appreciate it.
Also if any one has the part numbers for the module that would be awesome. Its a 2001 auto vert.
Thanks!

It may be worth checking with Gene's Carshop. He's fixed up a lot of members with parts. Fred Beans and Fichtner Chevrolet are also Forum Vendors and do a good deal on new ones.

Just some food for thought
1. Get it done by the stealership and pay over $2600 + tax
2. Get my EBCM rebuilt by Modulemaster for around $400 (I'm leaning towards this option)
3. Find the part at a auto wrecker or another vendor
How long warrt. are the gonna give you ? ??????

I have the same problem and have not addressed i yet. Module master
is one of the places I am considering. There is another in florida
that was iniatially higher in price. They are now 325 plus shipping
for a rebuild with a lifetime guarentee. I do not remember their name
but you can find them with a search on Ebay. They appear to be an
established company repairing a number of automotive electronic
componets.

Thanks for the input guys!
I think I'll take it apart and ship it for rebuilding to modulemaster. For the price and warantee I dont think I can beat it. Oh yeah I checked all the fuses, they are all fine.
Has anyone else dealt with Modulemaster? How's their service?
Also any tips for taking the ECBM out, I dont have a lift so I'm gonna be doing it from the top. If anyone has any pics of the steps that would be great.
Thanks again!

Ebcm Out!
Mine went nuts about 4 months ago (2001 Z06). dealer covered it even thugh it was obviously out of warranty. why the dealer comped it instead of using my GM zero deductible extended warranty is a mystery. Because of the way the dealer handled the problem, I got stuck for a $120 bill the next month when I got a bill for the taxes on the loaner 
By the way, when my EBCM crapped out, GM had ZERO of them in stock in the world, meaning I had to wait 3 1/2 weeks dor Delco to build a new one.
As a result of my inconvenience ( = driving a Malibu Maxx rental for 3 1/2 weeks while my Corvette was at the dealership) GM gave me a letter of credit for $1500 against a new car, but I cannot think of one GM vehicle I want now.
I will probably buy my wife a new Honda CRV and throw the letter in the trash (it is non-transferrable and expires in April 2007).

I started getting all the ABS / Traction Control messages and codes about 2 months ago. At first they were intermittent, would only come on when the engine was restarted after a 10 mile or so ride. I checked and cleaned all the grounds, but it had no effect. 2 weeks ago the lights and message started coming on all the time so I decided it's time to correct the problem. I thought about a new one from GM parts direct at $600 +, but decided to go with a rebuild. I looked at ModuleMasters and Auto and Truck Electronics and decided to send it to Auto and Truck Electronics at the website below. It was repaired and was scheduled to ship out today. I should have it back next Tuesday and I'll let you know how it worked out.

No real reason why I went with Auto and Truck Electronics other than they are closer to where I live and should speed up the process.

Just got the EBCM back and installed it. All the lights are off. ABS & TC working normally. No lights or codes after a 15 mile drive and restart.

mine has been giving my crap for a while now too.
only thing is that it either goes kooky right at start up and stays that way throughout the drive, or it'll work fine. so it's intermittent, but specific. i haven't made up my mind to even fix the "problem" any time soon. the only thing that happens when the module acts up is the car become an "old" car. then you have to drive it accordingly.
