Removal Procedure
- Disconnect the negative battery cable.
- Remove the air cleaner assembly. Refer to Air Cleaner Assembly Replacement in Engine Controls - 4.6L.
- Reposition the PCM to create access to the EBTCM.
- Raise the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in General Information.
- Remove the lower radiator splash shield. Refer to Engine Splash Shield Replacement in Body Front End.
- Remove the left front wheel well splash shield. Refer to Wheelhouse Panel Replacement in Body Front End.
- Remove the 3 EBTCM/BPMV assembly bracket nuts.
- Remove the 2 lower EBTCM to BPMV bolts.
- Lower the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in General Information.
- Disconnect the EBTCM connector.
- Remove the front insulator and insulator mounting bolt.
- Remove the 2 upper EBTCM to BPMV bolts.
- Separate the EBTCM from the BPMV by gently pulling forward until separated. Be careful not to damage the seal.
Important: The EBTCM cannot be repaired. If faulty it must be replaced as an assembly.
Caution: Unless directed otherwise, the ignition and start switch must be in the OFF or LOCK position, and all electrical loads must be OFF before servicing any electrical component. Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent an electrical spark should a tool or equipment come in contact with an exposed electrical terminal. Failure to follow these precautions may result in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or its components.
Caution: Do not pry the EBTCM from the BPMV as damage to the seal may result.
Installation Procedure
- Clean the seal and BPMV gasket surface with alcohol.
- Install the EBTCM to the BPMV with the 2 upper EBTCM to BPMV bolts.
- Raise the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in General Information.
- Install the 2 lower EBTCM to BPMV bolts.
- Install the front insulator and insulator mounting bolt.
- Install the 3 EBTCM/BPMV assembly bracket nuts.
- Install the lower radiator splash shield. Refer to Engine Splash Shield Replacement in Body Front End.
- Install the left front wheel well splash shield. Refer to Wheelhouse Panel Replacement in Body Front End.
- Lower the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in General Information.
- Tighten the 2 upper EBTCM to BPMV bolts.
- Install the EBTCM electrical connector. Make sure the EBTCM connector tab is locked down.
- Reposition the PCM to the proper position.
- Install the air cleaner assembly. Refer to Air Cleaner Assembly Replacement in Engine Controls.
- Install the negative battery cable.
- Perform the ABS Diagnostic System Check. Refer to Diagnostic System Check - ABS .
Important: When replacing the EBTCM, Magna Steer® must be recalibrated. Refer to Variable Effort Steering Programming in Variable Effort Steering.
Important: Do not tighten the bolts.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
