Default 96 Blazer ABS Questions

My ABS light is on all the time. I went to 2 auto parts stores to get a scan run and both tried, but said the scanner didn't recognize the EBCM.

I went to a mechanic who said he ran a test and no codes were returned and that meant the EBCM was bad.

Questions:

Does no code mean EBCM is bad?

Can someone tell me what the model of Kelsey Hayes EBCM was used in a 96 Blazer? It says Kelsey Hayes, but I don't see a model number. It doesn't look like a K-H 325.

My ABS light is on all the time too...No codes thrown..Prev owner said the Module is bad as well.

But thanks to this forum , there are several discussions talking about reflowing the solder due to GM's cold solder joints that crack.

When I get time, I'll be yanking the module out and try to reflow the connections.

May be worth a shot..

If your Blazer has the Kelsey hayes 325, there are several videos on youtube that show you how to resolder it. There are also some companies that will do it for you. My problem is the EBCM in my 96 Blazer is not the 325 module and I can't find any documentation for it.

Thanks, but doesn't help. The 96 Blazer doesn't have a K-H 325. That's my problem.

Went to my local GM dealer. Part is discontinued and no information available.

Service manager was nice enough to run diagnostics and he got the same thing - no diagnostics codes.

One thing that might be a clue is that when he tried to clear the code (even though there wasn't any), he could hear the EBCM make a clicking noise.

Stopped by NAPA. Same thing. Not in their inventory and no information available.

Not sure why , but everything from GM from 95 and 96 has to be so complicated..I know about switching to OBD 2 , but everything else in these years is just plain weird too..My brothers 95 TA was the same way..

I'll keep poking around to see if I can find anything...

Just thought of this...You can try shooting an email to Rockauto to see if they can get one. I had to do that with a hard to find harmonic balancer once for a different vehicle. They found it no problem..

There's also www.lkqonline.com as well who can supply used parts.

Thanks. I sent an email to a used parts shop asking if an anti-lock brake assembly is the same as an electronic brake control module (EBCM).
