Electronic Brake Control Module Programming and Setup

Note: 

   • DO NOT program a control module unless directed to by a service procedure or a service bulletin. If the control module is not properly configured with the correct calibration software, the control module will not control all of the vehicle features properly.
   • Ensure the programming tool is equipped with the latest software and is securely connected to the data link connector. If there is an interruption during programming, programming failure or control module damage may occur.
   • Stable battery voltage is critical during programming. Any fluctuation, spiking, over voltage or loss of voltage will interrupt programming. Install the EL-49642 SPS Programming Support Tool to maintain system voltage. If not available, connect a fully charged 12 V jumper or booster pack disconnected from the AC voltage supply. DO NOT connect a battery charger.
   • Turn OFF or disable systems that may put a load on the vehicles battery such as; interior lights, exterior lights (including daytime running lights), HVAC, radio, etc.
   • During the programming procedure, follow the SPS prompts for the correct ignition switch position.
   • Clear DTCs after programming is complete. Clearing powertrain DTCs will set the Inspection and Maintenance system status indicators to NO.

Replace and Program EBCM or Reprogram EBCM

To program a replacement or an existing Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM), perform the following procedure:

  1. Install EL-49642 SPS Programming Support Tool.
  2. Access the Service Programming System (SPS) and follow the on-screen instructions.
  3. On the SPS Supported Controllers screen, select Electronic Brake Control Module - Programming and follow the on-screen instructions.
  4. On the SPS Supported Controllers screen, select Electronic Brake Control Module - Setup and follow the on-screen instructions.
  5. At the end of programming, choose the "Clear All DTCs" function on the SPS screen.
  6. If the electronic brake control module was replaced and the hydraulic brake lines were disconnected, perform the Antilock Brake System Automated Bleed prior to following the last three steps.
  7. With a scan tool, access the EBCM, Configuration/Reset Functions, Electronic Brake Control Module Learn.
  8. With a scan tool, access the EBCM, Configuration/Reset Functions, Brakes Control Offset Learn.
  9. With a scan tool, access the Multi-Axis Acceleration Sensor Module, Configuration/Reset Functions, Yaw Rate Sensor Learn.

Unsuccessful Programming Recovery

In the event of an interrupted or unsuccessful programming event, perform the following steps:

  1. DO NOT turn the Vehicle OFF. Ensure that all control module, DLC and programming tool connections are secure and the TIS terminal operating software is up to date.
  2. Attempt to reprogram the control module.
  3. If the control module can still not be programmed, turn the Vehicle OFF for at least one minute.
  4. Turn the Vehicle in Service Mode and attempt to reprogram the control module. The control module should program.
    5. ⇒If the control module still cannot be programmed, replace the control module.
