: the contact stated while backing the vehicle out of a parking space, a humming noise was heard. While driving the vehicle 50 mph, the noise continued. The contact determined the humming noise was the brake module pump running and disconnected the pump until the vehicle could be taken to the dealership. After the engine was turned off, the humming noise continued. The dealership confirmed the humming noise was coming from the brake control module and there was either a faulty electronic computer relay in the brake module or in the valve body of the brake module. Updated 10/18/2006 - the consumer is concerned that the brakes may fail.

On my 2001 GMC Sierra truck the warning lights came on for the ABS and the parking brake I took it to the mechanic and was told the ebcm (electronic brake control modul) needs replaced. I spoke with the mechanic and he pointed out that there is a lot of these being replaced on this year of vehicle.

The ABS brake light was illuminated at all times. The consumer heard a humming sound coming from under the vehicle. The ABS module was disconnected because the module continued to run although vehicle was turned off. If the module was left connected it could drain the battery and possibly damage other systems. The dealer and manufacturer were informed of the problem. The ABS module has not been repaired due to the cost of the repair.
