So I was out running errands and my ABS light kicked on, went to scan the code, and when I got out of the truck, could hear something running (electric motor of some sort). The code pulled was C 1242 Pump Motor Circuit Open. Crawled under the truck and sure enough the pump was stuck on, so I unplugged it. From everything I have been reading this is fairly common and I need to replace the BCM. Anyone know if there are any recalls or anything that may save me some money fixing this? Thanks!

 

Recall, free, on a 2003? Bahahahaha

 

Your options are, don't fix it, buy a used one, or buy a reman.

 

Just so you know on these trucks, It's not the BCM It's the EBCM

BCM= Body Control Module- This is inside the cab

EBCM= Electronic Brake Control Module- This is connected to the ABS unit.

Just don't want you looking for the wrong replacement part.

 

^^^Good catch, I didn't notice that but knew he was talking about the EBCM.

 

LOL I went through that on a customers car. I learned me a lesson the hard way so I thought I would pass it on.

 

Haha thanks...that could have made for a very long and painful search process.

 

yeah its a bad EBCM. Mine was doing similar things when it went out. You can send it to modulemaster and they can re-build it for $150.00 with a 5 year warranty. You just disconnect the EBCM which is located on top of the pump that is running and send it off. Or pick one out of a junk yard and chance it working.

EDIT: Was quoted $1100.00 for the dealership to fix it. I laughed and walked out.

 

Module masters is a joke, sent mine to them 3 times and never got the module I sent back, and the modules they sent didn't work with my truck.

 

I ended up giving that guy you sent me a link to a call. He sounded pretty good so I sent it out to him. Hopefully should have it back within the next week or so.
