Got my 2007 H3 out of storage (since June) and it started, but wouldn’t keep going. Dealership put in new battery, cable terminals and fuse box. Now runs pretty well but the traction control light stays on. They want to replace the electronic brake control module for $1,200.00 parts and labor which I declined.

Can anyone tell me where the electronic brake module resides and whether this is a reasonable price or could it be a DIY job.

 

Tell us what codes the vehicle has first.
Might not be related to the EBM at all.

Plus the last place I would take a vehicle that is out of warranty is a Dealership.

 

Stay away from dealerships, just a bad idea for out of warranty work on anything. Storage should be done with a Battery Tender Plus or the like hooked up.

It sits right next to the Brake Fluid Reservoir (with the white clip thingy on it below). Scan it and post the code(s).

 

Scan all modules and post the codes.

 

Sorry forgot the most important bit. They also replaced the ecu with a new one.

I’ll be going to an Auto Zone to see if they can pull the codes.

 

It sounds like they are just throwing parts at it. Yes, pull the codes and go from there.

 

From my experience, part stores will not be able to read anything except ECM codes. You'll need BCM codes for anything traction related. I ended up buying one to get my codes. It was recommended on this forum.

 

True. Anybody that does some/most of their own wrenching and drives a vehicle 10+ years old should have a scanner. Saves time and money.

 

Can you tell me which one is recommended? Thanks

 

The code recovered was C0268 with a comment, “Pump Motor Circuit Shorted” and a suggestion to Reset Engine Control Module. The ECM is new on the vehicle.
