1Is this my Problem?

Here are the most common scenarios we hear from our customers experiencing the Kelsey-Hayes EBC430 / 130 ABS Repair failure and what you will notice.

Kelsey-Hayes EBC430 / 130 ABS Repair

Observable Symptoms:

  • ABS pump motor runs endlessly even with the key off
  • Scanner reveals pump motor circuit or communication errors
  • Intermittent ABS and Brake warning lights

A framework for being sure

  1. With the key off, listen under the driver-side frame rail. A pump that keeps humming is a stuck motor relay circuit inside the module.
  2. Pull the 60A ABS maxi-fuse. If the humming stops and the overnight battery drain goes away, the module is the source.
  3. Scan for pump motor circuit codes and clear them. Codes that reappear immediately rule out the wheel speed sensors.

Now you know for sure you have this problem.

Guide

3Pull the Part

Tools you may need:

  • T20 Torx Bit
  • 10mm Wrench
  • 1/4" Ratchet
  • Parts Brush

Parts you may need:

  • None required for removal
  1. Disconnect the negative battery terminal with a 10mm wrench.
  2. Locate the ABS assembly on the driver-side frame rail below the master cylinder.
  3. Brush the road grime off the module seam so nothing falls onto the board when it opens.
  4. Release the harness connector latch and unplug the module.
  5. Remove the four T20 Torx screws and pull the controller straight off the pump assembly.

4Fix It

Tools you may need:

  • 60W Soldering Iron
  • Solder Sucker
  • Desoldering Braid

Parts you may need:

  • 63/37 Leaded Solder
  • RTV Silicone Sealant
  1. Open the controller housing along the factory seam to expose the circuit board.
  2. Locate the six heavy relay and motor pins that carry pump current; these are the joints that fatigue.
  3. Desolder the fractured factory joints and clean each pad with desoldering braid.
  4. Reflow every pin with 63/37 leaded solder until you have a full, shiny fillet.
  5. Seal the housing with RTV silicone, reinstall, and confirm the pump shuts off with the key removed.

Skip the headache. We'll fix it today.
