Brake Pressure Modulator Valve (BPMV) Replacement
Brake Pressure Modulator Valve (BPMV) ReplacementCaution: Refer to Brake Fluid Irritant in Service Precautions.
Notice: Refer to Brake Fluid Effects on Paint and Electrical Components Notice in Service Precautions.
Removal Procedure
Caution: For safety reasons, the brake pressure modulator valve assembly must not be repaired, the complete unit must be replaced. With the exception of the EBCM, no screws on the brake pressure modulator valve assembly may be loosened. If screws are loosened, it will not be possible to get the brake circuits leak-tight and personal injury may result.
1. Turn OFF the ignition.
2. Raise the vehicle. Refer to Vehicle Lifting.
3. Remove the left front tire and wheel assembly.
4. Remove the front air deflector.
5. Remove the left front fascia extension.
6. Remove the EBCM connector position assurance (2) from the EBCM electrical connector (1).
7. Rotate the electronic brake control module (EBCM) connector tab up to the unlocked position.
Notice: To prevent equipment damage, never connect or disconnect the wiring harness connection from the EBCM with the ignition switch in the ON position.
8. Disconnect the EBCM electrical connector (1) from the EBCM (4).
Caution: Brake fluid may irritate eyes and skin. In case of contact, take the following actions:
^ Eye contact-rinse thoroughly with water.
^ Skin contact-wash with soap and water.
^ If ingested-consult a physician immediately.
Notice: When removing the brake pressure modulator valve, protect the vehicle exterior from possible brake fluid spillage. Brake fluid can cause damage to painted surfaces.
Notice: Excessive bending of brake pipes during BPMV removal or installation may cause permanent damage that will require replacement.
Important: Record the location of all brake pipes to the brake pressure modulator valve (BPMV) for use as an aid during installation.
9. Remove the 2 master cylinder brake pipes (1) from the BPMV (2).
10. Remove the 4 wheel brake pipes (1) from the BPMV (2).
11. Clean any brake fluid spillage from the BPMV (1).
12. Remove the 2 BPMV bracket nuts (2).
13. Remove the EBCM/BPMV assembly (1) from the BPMV bracket (3).
14. Disconnect the BPMV electrical connector (2) from the EBCM (3).
15. Remove the 6 EBCM to BPMV screws (2).
16. Clean the surface of the EBCM/BPMV assembly.
Important: The EBCM cannot be repaired, If faulty, the unit must be replaced.
17. Separate the EBCM (2) from the BPMV (1).
Installation Procedure
1. Clean the seal surface of the brake pressure modulator valve (BPMV).
2. Install the electronic brake control module (EBCM) (2) to the BPMV (1).
Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions.
3. Install the 6 EBCM to BPMV screws (2),
^ Tighten the 6 screws to 3.2 Nm (28 inch lbs.),
4. Connect the BPMV electrical connector (2) to the EBCM (3).
Important: Make sure that all 3 rubber isolators are installed on the BPMV. The isolators protect the EBCM/BPMV assembly from vehicle vibrations.
5. Install the EBCM/BPMV assembly (1) to the BPMV bracket (3).
6. Install the 2 BPMV bracket nuts (2).
^ Tighten the 2 nuts to 10 Nm (89 inch lbs.).
Caution: The brake pipes must be fully installed to the brake pipe mounting retainers on the frame. Failure to properly retain the brake pipes may cause the pipes to contact the frame and/or the transmission resulting in possible loss of brake fluid and personal injury.
Caution: Make sure brake pipes are correctly connected to BPMV. If brake pipes are switched by mistake Inlet vs. Outlet, wheel lockup will occur and personal injury may result.
Important: If a new BPMV is being installed, remove the shipping plugs from the valve openings.
7. Install the 4 wheel brake pipes (1) to the BPMV (2) using the locations recorded during the removal procedure.
^ Tighten the 4 brake pipes to 15 Nm (11 ft. lbs.).
8. Install the 2 master cylinder brake pipes (1) to the BPMV (2) using the locations recorded during the removal procedure.
^ Tighten the 2 brake pipes to 15 Nm (11 ft. lbs.).
Notice: To prevent equipment damage, never connect or disconnect the wiring harness connection from the EBCM with the ignition switch in the ON position.
9. Connect the EBCM electrical connector (1) to the EBCM (4).
10. Rotate the EBCM connector tab (1) down to the locked position.
11. Install the EBCM connector position assurance (2) to the EBCM electrical connector (1).
12. Install the left front fascia extension.
13. Install the front air deflector.
14. Install the left front tire and wheel assembly.
15. Lower the vehicle.
16. Fill and bleed the hydraulic brake system.
17. Perform the Auto Bleed Procedure.
18. Perform the ABS Diagnostic System Check.
