How I fixed a intermittent ABS and break light problem by Rebuilding the EBCM Module. Total cost $1.19 .
This is how I fixed my intermittent ABS and Brake dash lights on my Chevrolet blazer with the Kelsey-Hayes EBCM module, without spending up to 1500 bucks on a new EBCM. You may have code C0265 "Electronic Brake Control Module Motor Relay Circuit." The fault is usually due to broken solder joints on the circuit board. This time I need to pull the EBCM and repair the solder. Its a really simple fix. Just touch the soldering Iron to the bad solder points. This video is kind of long but it goes step by step with little editing.
On a on a 2001 chevy blazer I needed a T10 and a T8 torx tool, That and a soldering iron and some RTV sealant and about 1 hour I was good to go.

Now THAT is a component level repair I like to see. After a career in aerospace and computer engineering as an engineering tech, I went on to biomedical research, but kept up with applied engineering. Cars are mostly controlled by electronics now, and that's fine with me. I could have done "board level" swaps back in the day, but preferred to do the actual diagnosis down to the particular resistor, capacitor, transistor or chip and save my employer a few buck$ (often hundred$ and in some cases thousand$). Over 90% of "repairs" were fixing cold solder joints from boards that had been wave soldered. Not enough flux or heat too low. The rest were a mix of corrosion on connectors or burned out components. I don't begrudge auto mechanics their pay. What I disagree with is engineering planned obsolescence and warranties based on MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) of electronic and mechanical components, and making the ECM code difficult to find anywhere, much less online. I'm not wanting to rewrite or hack any of it (or violate their copyright). Just want to look at signals and do simple things like exercise the ABS dump valve to get air bubbles out of the module while bleeding the brakes without having to pay $1k+ for a "scanner" I don't need. Most scanner manufacturer's reps can't even tell you what their products will do aside from what's on their poorly written website. Sheesh!

I bought a used one from the junkyard. The junk car was a Caddy with 30 thousand miles on it, so the EBCM was in good shape. It cost $55.00. I installed it myself. It wasn't hard, but it was a pain to gain access to one of the screws. The lights never came back. I also grabbed the front leather seats from the same car and replaced my cracked ones.

Just did this exact same procedure on my 2001 S-10 a little while ago. The brake and ABS would come on intermittently. I knew it was a cold solder joint issue, because if I started the vehicle and the lights were not on, I could open the hood, and tap the top of the EBCM module with the handle of a screwdriver, and BOOM....lights would immediately come on. Just took it for a test drive after my repair, and everything was good. Tapped on the top of the module twenty or so times to try to get the lights to come back on, but they didn't. Problem fixed. I was an Electronics Technician for years when I was younger, and I did a LOT of soldering back then. That experience I have/had is a good thing to have!! Good video!!! Thx for posting it!!

You just saved me $1500. The removal on my 2000 Silverado was quite a bit more difficult, but the rest wasn't too bad. I added thermal grease to your instructions and put dielectric grease on the three connectors before plugging them in. Thanks!

Thanks for this video. I did this twice. The first time my soldering iron wasn't working well. I suspect the original solder is higher temp than what I am used to working with. After the first time I ordered a new higher wattage iron. I was still getting the code but in a little different pattern than before so I still thought the solder joints were the problem. I redid it with the new iron a couple of weeks ago. I could tell immediately that the solder was flowing much better. I now declare mine fixed.

You have no idea how lucky you are that the unit isn’t buried under the frame on the drivers side. Good video- appreciate it. But for all those that have to try & get it out from beneath the vehicle & ridiculously inaccessible- may the force be with you!
