Anyone tell me where the EBCM and PCM grounds are for my 03 STS
Im getting alot of random codes seen here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o30esRrpipo) and im going to start there.
Thanks alot guys!
The EBCM uses G110, it is located on the transmission bellhousing fairly close to the BPMV (ABS unit).
See the attached image.
The PCM grounds tie to G106.
In the picture, the grounds are labeled 2 for G110 and 3 for G106.
Didn't they just do some trans work to your car?
I bet they didn't put the grounds back on right.
they had the balls to say that those lights are coming on because i beat my car, idiot lights dont randomly come on due to beating they come on because theres a problem
yeah they did just do tranny work on my car, they replaced the detent (not sure the name) bar as well as adjusted the shift linkage several times
randomly the abs light comes on then the brake and t/c light come on, the abs and brake go away but the t/c light stays until i shut the car off.
i was assuming the grounds were screwed up and thats why its so random and intermittent?
any clue based on those codes Ewill?
thanks!
I would agree that you probably have ground issues.
They probably didn't tighten one of the grounds properly or the bolts are dirty and they are making a poor connection.
If you never saw those lights before and you see them after their repairs I can almost guarantee that they didn't connect the grounds properly.
Can you get under the car to look at them?
They are easier to see from underneath.
Better to check this with a cold engine.
yea i figured it would be better cold then to fry my hands lol
ill def check them today after work, ill tighten them all just to be safe and hope thats it
Get in there with a light. Make sure all the grounds are secure, there are several in there, sometimes they put two on the same bolt.
If you can get the bolts out, take them out and look at them. Sand the bottom part of the heads clean and sand the eyelets on the wires clean too, also the faces of the transmission housing where they tighten down.
Then get them all on, and tighten them really tight.
You should be okay after that.
