Default traction control/EBCM

I have a 2008 C6 Z51. There is an issue with the EBCM, I think. With no control modes on the brakes activate at speed causing a shimmy. I removed the EBCM and was prepared to clean and solder the internal electronic control board. This EBCM is different from what I expected and it appears that soldering may not be possible. Is the brake activation caused by the EBCM or is it possible that another component is causing the brakes to activate. This does not happen when the traction control mode is set in another mode such as track mode. I'm willing to purchase a new EBCM but I want to make sure that's what I need. The EBCM is a pricey part. If I need one does anyone have a good source to get one?

his Help section is for Help with the CorvetteForum website (account issues, etc.,) and is not the place to post technical questions about Corvettes. Instead, please find the correct section, based on the generation of the Corvette.

Go back to the main forum page:
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/

Now start to slowly scroll down until you see the generation of your Corvette. C6 Corvette, 2005 - 2013 section:
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...-2005-2013-14/

Got a technical question about the C6 Corvette? Use the C6 Tech/Performance section:

We encourage new members to take some time to browse around the site and read the Announcements and Stickies as they contain important and frequently asked information.

Thank-you
