A relay is burned out in the EBCM

This is one of the few EBCM faults that can be repaired. Do a search for absfixer.

A fault in the pump motor of the BPMV can cause this to happen again. There is a troubleshooting procedure, but I don't have a reference handy.

You need to replace a relay within the EBCTM :

I have replaced this relay on three units .
You need some soldering skills , but the job is not difficult .

New relay ORWH-SH-105D1F,000 from here

After replacing the relay you must seal the EBCTM with new seleant to avoid moisture inside the unit when you drive the car under wet conditions later on .

I had mine repaired by ASAP SPEEDO. They are in Arizona. Good price. Quickly got it back and lifetime warranty.

You can do the entire process yourself (removal and resoldering), removing the ABS module isn't hard but its annoying because some of the radiator hoses are in the way. Nothing terrible though.

I had this code on a 2001 and just paid to have have ABS fixer do the rebuild as I didn't feel like cracking open the EBCM case myself and messing it up along the way. I paid 250 for ABS fixer to do it and also do an upgraded "surge suppressor" at the same time (I suspect this might just be adding a resistor so it doesn't surge the components on start up as much). That was 1000 miles ago. No ABS/traction control lights or issues since then.

Cheap money for the peace of mind of not messing up a potentially 1k to 2k component that isn't made anymore...

I fixed mine by resoldering inside the EBCM. If you’re careful it can be done DIY, to open the module up I drilled into the plug hole to widen it then screwed a tap bolt in and it started to separate.

OP: What year is your C5? ABS repair shops will only work on 2001 and newer.
