While entering the south bound on ramp to I 75 at gainsville fla. The driver side brake locked up pulling the car hard to the left. The designation "service active handling" appeared on the drivers information screen above the steering wheel. I was able to turn the ignition switch to the "off" position & restart the car. Once done the notification in the dic was eliminated & the car drove fine.
Electronic brake control module (ebcm) controls the anti-lock braking system, traction control system, & stability control system. My ebcm module has failed, as with the vast majority of most all Corvettes made from 1997 through 2004. The module requires electronic re-soldering of the printed circuit board. Module failure has no correlation with care of car, age of car, use of car, mileage of car, or any other know factors, just a bad electronic component. General motors charges approximately $ 2000. 00 for the repair. There are now many "after market companies" that will do the repair, though general motors denies there is a problem with this electronic module. . Read more...
