I have a 2000 C5 that runs great except for the dreaded service traction and service abs lights. I've tried to remove the module(ECBM)to no avail. I contacted ABS Fixer and they told me that they don't repair the 2000 modules. Right now I'm pretty uncertain on what to do. Is it possible to separate the ECBM from the BPHV? I was only getting the code 1243 on the DIC after I attempted to remove the module now I'm getting 6 codes 1261,1263,1265,1267,1271 and 1273. Will I have to replace the entire unit and if so, can I bleed the ABS system at home without any special tools.

Yes it is possible to remove the EBCM from the BPMV, and no you will not have to bleed anything as you never get into the brake fluid part of the system.

If you need to replace, I would strongly suggest buying from either one of our two resident forum GM vendors for the absolute best pricing.

Either:

Bob at Fichtner Chev (1-800-234-5284) or,
Gene Culley at GM PartsHouse
