If cleaning the contacts and grounds doesn't resolve your problem, the next best thing is to have your EBCM re-built. Here's a cut and paste of vendors that have been used successfully in the past;

1. well just wanted to let everyone with this problem know found a place to get this thing repaired and after talkin with Brandon got him to repair and upgrade it for 150.00 plus 8.00 for return next day air .
this is a great price if ya look at cost to replace and customer service was also great. he will gurantee the ecbm for as long as you own the car.So if ya have this problem give him a call , site is absfixer.com or call 877-648-7530


2. The name of the company is Auto&Truck Electronics. I am in no way affiliated with them, nor do I recieve any discount or monetary consideration for making this post. I'm making this post in an effort to save you guys some $$$ and hopefully help to prevent future failures given the problematic part could fail again if replaced with another flawed design part(assuming they haven't corrected whatever tends to break). I was a bit leary of this whole deal since I didn't have any references to say it was a good deal, or they did good work etc...
So if anything use me as sort of a guinnea pig in this matter. I had a GREAT experience both with the service of the rep and of the part they fixed for me. In my opinion it's $$ well spent to both save alot of $$$, but also, from what I'm lead to believe, have a much smaller chance of having the part break again. They have a 5yr warranty on their work as well. Their # is 1-800-550-0674


3. I had to have my EBCM re-built 4 months ago. Put it back in the car and no more codes. The company I used is on ebay, but I contacted them directly at http://autoecu.com/ Their phone # is at the bottom of the web page.

Hope this helps you guys out!

SOURCE: 2004 Monte Carlo

The traction control and abs are both activated by the abs sensors located at all four wheels. It is common for those sensors to get covered in brake dust and get false or no signal. Also the wiring connections can become corroded over time. I am not sure what the codes are for but checking the sensors/wiring are where I would start.

Replaced cat. convertor at a muffler shop cost about $150.00 and still have code P0420 and now have more codes (C1214 and C1248) and abs light, service engine light and traction light is on. Took to...

code p 0420 refers to cat converter system bank 1-efficiency below threshold ====causes --cat converter---wiring ---Heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) in the manifold before the cat converter
as the cat converter is new , that will not be an option as for the rest if the codes were not prior to the cat replacement , I would suspect wire harness problems from the cat fitment
possible to use a scan tool to reset the ECm

Abs and brake light on i scan it and came out with 11 codes c1185 c1198 c1194 c1254 c1246 c1250 c1242 c1214 c1210 u1260 u1262 where shou;d i begin

Start by clearing all codes and driving the van until abs light returns then scan and start with the first code that you get on scan tool. i've seen this many times where a bad speed sensor that cust drive with abs light on for a few days or week the computer begins to store all sort of codes,also be sure to check the preasure sensor on the master.
