How does the ABS relay work on a GMC?
How does the ABS relay work on a GMC?
The ABS relay supplies battery voltage to six valve solenoids (RF dump/isolation, LF dump/isolation, and rear dump/isolation). The Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) microprocessor applies the grounds needed to activate each solenoid. The low side of each solenoid coil has a feedback circuit to the EBCM microprocessor.
What happens if the EBCM relay circuit fails?
Traction control helps keep your car going in a straight line and ABS prevents your brakes from locking-up and sending you into a skid when you hit the brakes. So, having a bad EBCM problem can be a serious safety hazard for your vehicle as it can disable both of these systems. What Causes the EBCM Relay Circuit to fail?
Can a Kelsey Hayes EBCM module be repaired?
We can repair failed ABS modules (also known as EBCM electronic brake control modules) for GM Trucks and SUVs built after 1999 with Kelsey Hayes 325 control modules. The modules have an internal relay and/or transistor that fails causing the ABS pump to run continously.
What does the EBCM do on a car?
The EBCM, or electronic brake control module, is the electronic system that controls brake sensors and activates both traction control and ABS. Traction control helps keep your car going in a straight line and ABS prevents your brakes from locking-up and sending you into a skid when you hit the brakes.

Why does the EBCM turn off the ABS?
The EBCM disables the ABS due to a malfunction. When the ABS indicator is commanded on, loss of ABS function is indicated. The base brake system may function normally. Could be as simple as low brake fluid or a bad brake fluid level sensor.
What causes c0265 GMC motor relay circuit to be low?
C0265 GMC Possible Causes 1 Faulty Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) 2 Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) harness is open or shorted 3 Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) circuit poor electrical connection
