Update - if you have tried to remove the EBCM without removing the brake line from the ABS assembly on a ford escape (possibly by removing the ABS assembly frame bolts to provide additional access please let me know. It still bothers me that for this vehicle the only way to remove the EBCM is to pull the entire assembly and if it is not necessary that would be valuable info.

This video shows the installation of a 2012 Ford Escape Electronic Brake Control Module ABS Assembly. The steps shown should be applicable to most of not all ABS assembly unit replacements.
Prior to the removal of the EBCM the car has ODB code error B1342 and ABS/brake light indicators.
See the test and removal video here: • Solved - ABS light fl...
Forums had suggested that with these symptoms the EBCM is in need of repair. To access and remove the EBCM the ABS module assembly was removed and the EBCM was pulled off the assembly and shipped to a company called Upfix for repairs. Upfix replaced some electronics to repair the EBCM and shipped it back to us fully repaired.
After installation our Ford Escape is back up and running!
If you want to know how to install the EBCM or ABS assembly on your car and do it yourself, this is the right video for you.

Im always amazed at how absolutely spotless and hospital clean vehicles are in these repairs videos! Man!, my old 94 probe gt and 2003 focus look like the Exon Valdiz oil spill happened under and around my engine..LOL these cars here look like they rolled outta the showroom.

I use engine cleaner before the grime starts.

How did you bleed the master cylinder? Was the spongy pedal resolved after that?

@Thatguysauto 11 ай бұрын

Yes. It took a helper and was a little messy. Basically, the air is forced out via pedal action. While you are under the hood loosening and tightening the brake line tied to the master cylinder or the cylinder drain plug, another person is depressing and lifting the brake pedal. So loosen the nut, start depressing the pedal and before the pedal reaches bottom tighten the nut. It is imperative to not raise the pedal until the nuts are tightened. I did that until the pedal was no longer spongy - I think it took 4 times. I had already bled the air from the lines leaving the only air in the system at the MC. Good luck and let me know how it turns out.

Did you do a bleed on both front tires to get the air out?

@Thatguysauto Жыл бұрын

If you open the brake system you have to bleed all 4 tires starting with the farthest tire from the master cylinder and ending with the closest. I highly recommend capping the master cylinder and not draining it!

Mr. Normal Guy's where can I buy a spare part for the 2010 exhaust ABS module? Thank you

If you buy a new ebcm it will require reprogramming. Which is why a DIYer attempts a repair vs replace.

What size were those torx bolt for the control unit?

@Thatguysauto Жыл бұрын

The 4 hex screws holding the EBCM to the ABS Pump were on the body frame side (driver side) The 3 bolts and 1 nut holding the assembly on from the body frame side. Pretty tight quarters, which is why I ended up removing the entire assembly.

What were the symptoms before the repair?

@Thatguysauto Жыл бұрын

Indicator lights only. Both the traction control and the brake indicators. The first video shows the indicator lights and I talk a little about the symptoms.

Any reprogramming required, after they replaced some of the electronics?

@@Anonymous-it5jw No reprogramming for my repair. That’s one of the reasons I used UpFix. I didn’t want to spend a ton of money on a reprogrammer.

So the only tools you needed were the power bleeder and abs scanner?

@Thatguysauto Жыл бұрын

And a torx bit set, toothbrush, electrical connector cleaner, etc. If you are removing the brake lines from the ABS assembly - a Socket set and open ended wrenches. But I recommend a flare nut wrench set (for brake line removal) and bleed cable plugs/caps (for the res).
