Call Brandon at ABSFixer . com. He can tell you which codes can be fixed. And, what upgrades to EBCM are available. It is quite a few, actually.
Had mine repaired, and it was a somewhat uncommon code. So, he can repair more than just what (codes) is listed on his website.
Good luck,
Don

You may not ever see an EBCM failure depending on how you drive your car. EBCM failures tend to be higher with cars where the ABS/active handling systems are never activated.
But if it should fail and you do not want to dish out the big bucks for a new unit, there are refurbished EBCM's available for 2001-2004 model years at about $300 or so. Much cheaper than new units and will probably last the life of the car due to the upgraded components that refurbished units get. Most also come with anywhere from 5 years to lifetime guarantee depending on who you buy them from.

Just so you know an EBCM problem will not affect normal braking. You can actually remove it and still drive the car. You will not of course not have ABS, TC, and AH (if your car is so equipped).
