Thanks for posting this.. I repaired my module following your instructions.. Worked perfectly. BTW on a 2002 Chevy Avalanche takes a T-20 torx..

Thank you Jose. Great repair. Your video has the best detailed explanation of the actual solder repair. :)

Thank you for this video. It is a problem I've had with my Tahoe for a long long time. Your video was straight to the point and I appreciate that.

Warning to all. I use to make the coils for several Kelsey-Hayes ABS systems and we also did several automotive modules. Be careful of RTV on circuit boards. A lot of RTV have an acidic acid that will attack a circuit board. I found a recommendation and attached: Non acidic RTV's are sold by aquarium shops, and for electronic encapsulation. The former is usually the 'easier' source if only a small quantity is required. 'Normal' RTV's give off acetic acid, and are not suitable for use on a PCB. Look for GE 142, Rutland 76R, and similar products. As an alternative, consider a low melting point hot-melt glue. After watching video you could probably use normal RTV on the perimeter only, not on the circuit board

Thanks for your video - this procedure worked like a champ on my '01 Blazer with essentially the same ABS module. The Brake/ABS light issue is now a thing of the past !

Thank you for the video. A little tip for you on soldering that really helped me out. It would be best to remove old solder with a solder sucker, I’m not sure if that’s the right name for it but you probably know what I mean. Then use Flux and some fresh good 60/40 Rosen core Lead Solder. The flux is going to help remove contaminants away from the solder so it will be a solid bind with no cold joints. It will also help when it comes to melting the solder you will see melt instantly. Also get you some Brillo to clean the tip. You can just jab it in the bundle to remove any extra solder or junk built up to reveal a clean shiny tip again. a wet sponge is no good in my opinion because it just never worked right for me and I’m sure there is temperature drop and oxidation from the water that is left behind. It works in a pinch with a clean sponge and purified water. but I have destroyed and had several tips in the past Break apart. Also, it doesn’t do as good as a Brillo ball would. I’m pretty sure it’s brillo it came with my Hakko soldering iron. Furthermore, try looking up hakko FS-100 chemical paste. You will use that for the soldering tip after every use before storage or if you feel you need a refreshed tip to continue with. The FS-100 is like solder with a cleaner but it removes anything from the tip that can cause it to damage your tip or get in the way of heat transfer. Check it out I didn’t know the stuff even existed. Lol You will thank me later, I promise!! I have never soldered better in my history of understanding how to solder. I always thought I knew what I was doing till one day doing some research on how to be better and more precise. Now I can’t ever see any other way to do it. Once you get that down you will be amazed at how solder just works for you on point every single time flawlessly . Like if you are a pro. Your work will be way cleaner too. Also don’t forget to use rubbing alcohol to clean up soldered parts when you are done because the flux is corrosive and can cause damage. For soldering I use a Hakko FX-888D. It is amazing and you can find all different sizes of soldering tip sizes throughout Amazon. You can find the FS-100 on there too. I hope my advice will help you out like your video helped me. I just wanted to see if I had enough heat sink compound for the heat sink spots that you see in white… ALSO for anyone that is going to rebuild theirs don’t forget to put fresh heat sink thermal paste on those circular white spots. It’s important to keep the electronics from overheating. From my research I can only find the one I know we need to use at Auto zone. Autozone sells it in tiny packets. It’s called Wells heat sink compound SL203. If you can’t get it maybe reach out to the company and see what you can use as an alternative. It’s what is recommended for GM from what I’ve read. You have to be sure that you don’t use any other heat sink product unless you absolutely know what you are doing. Some contain aluminum or something that can short out the electronics from what I hear. Good luck and thanks agian for the video! You got my sub and a thumbs up.👍🏻

Thanks for this video. I did this twice. The first time my soldering iron wasn't working well. I suspect the original solder is higher temp than what I am used to working with. After the first time I ordered a new higher wattage iron. I was still getting the code but in a little different pattern than before so I still thought the solder joints were the problem. I redid it with the new iron a couple of weeks ago. I could tell immediately that the solder was flowing much better. I now declare mine fixed.

What a pain in the butt to get it out. I had to undo all the brake lines and nearly had to pull the Tcase. But finally finagled it out. I did the soldering technique you showed and BAM! No more ABS / brake light! Thanks for sharing!

muy correcto su video jose llagan.lo felicito.

This pc board is surface mount technology with components and connection lands on both sides of the board with thru holes on some connections.The automated wave solder process is not making good solder connections on the side of the board you can't see. Hand soldering the thru hole connections fixes the bad solder joints. When you solder these joints be sure the heat melts the joint and a good solder flow will go thru and go to the other side of the board making a good connection. Thanks for this post it helped me fix my ABS problem on my 2002 Avalanche that has plagued me for a long time.

Very good video. Was your ABS on "solid" all the time? My ABS light comes and goes. I've analyzed my ABS with an Autel and found the code C1095 pump electrical circuit short. However all sensors are displaying good reading when driving I've witnessed on the analyzer. I can't activate the pump during a test either. I bet I have the same issue. Trouble shooting ABS without an analyzer is very difficult, good job.

Jose. I repaired the module on my '02 Av one week ago. I figured out that once I removed the two electrical connectors that I could see and then remove the four screws, I could lift the module off and then easily disconnect the third electrical connector. Unlike yours, my module had the little tiny screws holding it together. I re-soldered the connectors, put it back together and (knock on wood) it has worked fine for a week. Hoping this is the permanent fix. Thanks again for the great video.

I have seen videos of people using heat guns to reflow solder. Do you think this could be done on the ABS module without damaging it? I would think using a heat gun might would be possibility preferable just because it would reflow the solder on every joint all at one time. Thanks in advance for your time. Great video btw.

You might want to check the main ground wire that bolts to the frame rail, remove the ground wire, clean terminal and frame and re install the ground wire and make sure it is tight. That can be a problem but no guarantees. Another issue could be the ABS pump, you might want to have a shop pull the trouble codes to help pin point the problem before spending any more unnecessary money. There is a possibility that the new module is bad if it was a repaired module also. I would get the trouble codes first then decide whether to try to get replacement module or replace the pump.

Most-likely, you have an ABS problem at the front sensors. One of three problems you should address first: the ABS lines to the hubs are cut or damaged. Second, the ABS sensors are no longer sending voltage signal to the ABS module or ECM, and third - if you have 'worn spindle bearings' that cause the interruptor ring to have excessive variance, you MUST REPLACE YOUR FRONT BEARINGS to fix the problem. This last one is a BIG ONE for Silverado owners (I have a 2500HD, and the bearing wear will cause such variance that the hall-effect sensor can't always detect the interruptor...so you get intermittent ABS lights). 5 of your 6 ABS fault potentials are at the front end...two grounds, abs wire, abs sensor, wheel-spindle bearing. Last thing (and most-expensive) is the ABS module itself. Also, an ABS fault WILL CAUSE HELL with your ITBM (trailer brake module) if you have an OEM trailer brake controller in the dash...which also isn't fun to trouble shoot, since you have to fix ALL ABS ISSUES before possibly addressing three connection points on the ITB System, as well as the Module and the TB Relay module!!! I know...I bought my truck used, with the Parking Brake light on, the ABS brake light on, AND THE ITBM problem reading on the DIC...which led to a LOT of diagnosis and parts-farming to figure out what was bad!

is there anything I can do if the guy who fixed my break lines cross threaded a brake line while putting it into the abs pump
