Features:

Plug & Play: This module is plug and play. No software reload or calibration is required.
Thermal Cooling Upgrade: All BCMs include an anodized aluminum cover to help dissipate heat and lower the MCU’s operating temperature.

Factory Software: This module comes with factory software and does not require programming. Plug and Play!

Non-Destructive Case Opening: A special press is used to separate the plastic ABS case. The factory seams are preserved. Once reassembled the module is fully sealed. No cut or oozing silicon.

Completely Reworked PCB: All internal circuit boards are tested at the component level. Any known prone-to-failure parts that are close to the maximum tolerance are automatically replaced.

Quality Tested: All our ABS modules undergo rigorous tests on our specialized custom built CAN-bus driven test bed. All functions, DTCs, and software are checked and verified for proper operation.

Lifetime Limited Warranty: This module comes with our Lifetime Limited Warranty. Please see here for more information.

FAQ

What goes wrong with this Brake Control Module?
These modules are prone to overheating, which damages components over time which can result in loss of network communication and the module becoming unresponsive. This is just one example of the importance of proper heat dissipation. Other common failures include damaged pump drivers and CAN-Bus controllers.

What is improved?
We have designed and built a custom heat sink and incorporated the design into a large aluminum cover made from anodized aluminum. The powder coated surface provides excellent resistance to harsh chemicals, especially highly corrosive brake fluid. In our final tests we were able to reduce the processors operating temperature by 20 percent which is a remarkable accomplishment considering it’s mounted in a hot engine compartment. Together, with high quality silicone replacement components used, you can rest assured that our BCM will last throughout the life of your vehicle, and we guarantee it with a Lifetime Limited Warranty!

Why can’t you provide a Pre-Programmed BCM for vehicle equipped with DSTC?
BCMs for vehicles with DSTC work closely with the yaw rate sensor, and that extra software makes it nearly impossible to properly match up what software package is required for your vehicle.

My vehicle has DSTC. Is it possible to swap in a BCM from another vehicle with DSTC?
Possible? Yes. But the likelihood of it working properly is very low.

Are there any options for Brake Control Modules from vehicle equipped with DSTC?
Yes. You’ll get a product that’s just as good with our repair and return service here. And since the module is the original from the vehicle, there won’t be any software conflicts.
