How Do I Install a Brake Controller on a 2007 Chevrolet Suburban

The Chevrolet Suburban is a large sport utility vehicle that has the same platform as the Chevrolet C/K series of pickup trucks. The 2007 model has an anti-lock braking system (ABS), like most vehicles of this period. The ABS uses a brake controller, known as an electronic brake control module (EBCM), to determine the amount of braking force to apply to the wheels. The procedure for installing a brake controller in a 2007 Suburban is the same for similar vehicles such as the Escalade, Tahoe and Yukon.

Instructions

1

Disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery with a socket wrench. Raise the vehicle with a floor jack and support it on jack stands.

2

Locate the EHCU under the vehicle on the drivers side next to the driveshaft. The EHCU is an assembly consisting of the EBCM, the brake pressure modulator valve, or BPMV, and a mounting bracket. It is roughly the shape of a cube 3 inches on a side when it is fully assembled. Wash the area around the EHCU to remove any dirt.

3

Disconnect the mounting screws for the EBCM with a socket wrench, and detach the EBCM from the brake pressure modulator valve (BPMV). The BPMV is the small box-shaped component that is connected to the brake lines. Clean the mounting surface on the BPMV with a clean shop rag.

4

Mount the new EBCM to the BPMV, and fasten new screws to the EBCM with a socket wrench. Lower the vehicle with the floor jack, and attach the cable to the negative battery terminal.

5

Connect a scan tool to the vehicles data link connector, and program the new EBCM using the scan tools tire-size calibration function. Turn the ignition on and perform the diagnostic system check.
