[![John Wells](https://blog.upfix.com/hs-fs/hubfs/JohnWells.png?width=50&height=50&name=JohnWells.png)](https://blog.upfix.com/author/johnwells) [John Wells](https://blog.upfix.com/author/johnwells) December 7 2020 Last updated: November 24 2023 ![](https://blog.upfix.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Screen-Shot-2020-12-03-at-1_56_20-PM-1.png) # ABS EBCM Anti-Lock Brake Control Module # Removal Instructions: In order to send your ABS Module to UpFix for repair, you will need to remove the module from your vehicle. Every vehicle’s year, make and model is a little different, so we’ve provided a general removal guide below to assist you in getting your ABS module removed quickly and easily. ## Step 1: Locate the ABS Module The ABS module in most cars should be located on the driver’s side front corner of the engine compartment. The hard brake lines should be attached to the unit, which should help you locate your car’s module. If you have any trouble finding it, your car’s owner’s manual should have a diagram, or you can easily find a diagram of your car online. ## ![](https://blog.upfix.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Screen-Shot-2020-12-03-at-1_40_53-PM-300x219.png?width=300&height=219&name=Screen-Shot-2020-12-03-at-1_40_53-PM-300x219.png) ## Step 2: Disconnect the Negative Battery Cable To avoid damaging the electrical components of your vehicle, you will need to disconnect the negative battery cable. ## Step 3: Disconnect the Wiring Depending on your vehicle’s year , make and model, this wiring will vary, but should be generally simple to remove. You may have to remove the electrical harness, which houses all of the power and sensors for the module, as part of the wiring. Simply unplug the remaining wires and tuck them to the side of the module. Make sure all wiring is disconnected to ensure the module isn’t damaged upon removal. ## Step 4: Remove the Mounting Bolts The tools you use to remove the mounting bolts will vary according to the types and sizes of the bolts on your vehicle, so you may have to experiment to find which tools work. Once you’ve found the correct tool, loosen and remove the bolts on the module. There’s a chance the bolts will be rusted, so make sure that your tool fits as closely as possible to prevent stripping the bolts. ## ![](https://blog.upfix.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Screen-Shot-2020-12-03-at-1_56_20-PM-300x211.png?width=300&height=211&name=Screen-Shot-2020-12-03-at-1_56_20-PM-300x211.png) ## Step 5: Remove the Module Once the wiring and mounting bolts have been removed, you are free to remove your ABS module.

Because most people are accustomed to using ABS, you will need to drive with extra caution, especially in rainy weather or on slick roads.  Braking responsiveness is slower/delayed and therefore braking takes more space and more distance is required to ensure safe braking. Please be careful! ***I can’t find my ABS module. What should I do?*** Every ABS module is different per the year, make and model, so check your owner’s manual or look online for a diagram. Generally, the ABS module is located in the driver’s side front corner of the engine compartment. ***Once my ABS module is removed, how do I send it in for repairs?*** You have two options. You can either bring your part to our Buford repair shop between the hours of  9:00 am-5:00 pm (M-F), or create an online order, use the shipping label provided and then ship to us: MyAirbags 1707 Enterprise Dr. Suite D Buford, GA 30518 ## **Send your original part for repair and save hundreds!** After you’ve sent us your faulty ABS module, our IPC-certified technicians will diagnose the issue, repair it, test it and send it back to you within 24 hours.   # [Start your order today!](https://www.upfix.com)     Previous Post ###### [TCM Replacement Cost | Save Money On Repairs with UpFix](https://blog.upfix.com/mazda-3-tcm-replacement-heres-how-to-save-over-700) Next Post ###### [How to repair a failing Instrument Cluster?](https://blog.upfix.com/how-to-repair-a-failing-instrument-cluster) ### Similar Blog Posts #### [Speedometer Instrument Cluster Install/Remove Instructions](https://blog.upfix.com/speedometer-instrument-cluster-install-remove-instructions) [![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXe3f3RHS-85IIaoUp0IXCYZi7YGZFeK_vu6Ihl4pOttzMMLKfgV03AC-ubNUh__AwuS8v29UFA7213QeQaa6MXXfyyv8HIu5Vh4z3z7_aVpXx_PpsPWnpDuafyx541qg-fJp1v3EKetghkyFpX0mWaEF4BI?key=BmJsURyz7YfE2RWOL5REPg)](https://blog.upfix.com/how-to-remove-abs-module-with-upfix) #### [Your Repair Guide: How to Remove ABS Module with Upfix](https://blog.upfix.com/how-to-remove-abs-module-with-upfix) [![](https://blog.upfix.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/open-wrench-tool-silhouette_icon-icons_com_73472-1.png?width=352&name=open-wrench-tool-silhouette_icon-icons_com_73472-1.png)](https://blog.upfix.com/how-to-remove-install-instrument-cluster) #### [How to Remove/Install Instrument Cluster](https://blog.upfix.com/how-to-remove-install-instrument-cluster) ### ADDRESS UpFix 4991 BU Bowman Dr Buford, GA 30518 **International Shipping Available:** We ship to USA and Canada ### ABOUT Thank you so much for considering UpFix.
