QuestionQUESTION: I have a 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue and recently the Service Engine Soon and ABS light have both turned on. No codes displayed when I checked it with my OBD reader. In reading past answers, it appears that the ABS module might be bad. Is this the only thing that could be the problem or should I check other sensors? Finally, is this something that I can replace - or do I need to take this to a dealer?
Thanks,
Rodney
ANSWER: Hi
I personally would tell you to take it somewheres that offers free diagnostic scans and have BOTH the ABS and Powertrain scanned for codes.
The ABS COULD be many different wheel speed sensors or related circuits.
Of course the SES light could be numerous items.
If you decide to do this, please follow post back if any codes are found and I'll be MORE than happy to help with diagnostics.
I do hope this helps.
Good Luck

QUESTION: Pawl,
Thanks for the suggestions. We did have the Powertrain codes read and the dealership provided us a report that said the electronic brake control module assembly reported bad. They did not give us the codes - but quoted a $1500.00 repair bill. I have done a search for this part and believe I can get it for about $450.00 Is this just a matter of replacing the module and starting to drive again? Or do I have to do something else when replacing this module?
Thanks,
Rodney

Pull out lock tab from the EBTCM harness connector (1).
Disconnect the EBTCM harness connector .
Disconnect the pump motor connector (3) at the bottom of the EBTCM.
Remove the six EBTCM to BPMV screws (2) and discard.
Important: Be careful not to damage seal. Do not pry apart using a tool.
Important: Care must be taken not to damage the solenoid valves when the EBTCM is removed from the BPMV.
Separate the EBTCM (1) from the BPMV (5) by gently pulling apart until separated.
Important: Note the location and the orientation of the wave spring in order to aid during installation.
If equipped with ABS, remove one wave spring (1) between the EBTCM and BPMV and discard.
Important: Note the location and the orientation of the wave springs in order to aid during installation.
If equipped with ABS/TCS remove two wave springs (1) between the EBTCM and BPMV and discard.
Installation Procedure
Important: Only the new wave spring(s) and screws supplied with the new EBTCM should be used.
Clean the BPMV gasket surface with alcohol using a clean rag.
If equipped with ABS, install one wave spring (1) between the EBTCM and BPMV. Use location and orientation noted during removal.
If equipped with ABS/TCS, install two wave springs (1) between the EBTCM and BPMV. Use locations and orientation noted during removal.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
Install the EBTCM (1) to the BPMV (5).
Tighten
Tighten the top four mounting screws (2) to 2.9 N·m (26 lb in). Tighten screws in an X pattern.
