Electronic brake control module (ebcm) failure. Must replace module. There seems to be many people with my same problem. Go to www.corvetteforum.com and search "ebcm failure" and you will see the list of people with my same issue.

The ABS, traction control, and active handling indicators started coming on when starting vehicle. Vehicle is 2001 Chevrolet Corvette with 32,000 miles. I took the vehicle in for repair and was told it would cost $3,189 to replace a valve and a module (bpmv and ebcm). I though this was unusual for two parts to go out on a vehicle with such low miles. The technician told me that there had been other vehicles with the same problem. I feel that I should not have to pay the full price for the failure of a defective safety device on my vehicle, especially when it fails at 32,000 miles. Although I have only had to rely on ABS once since I purchased the vehicle new in 2001, I feel that it saved me from getting into an accident. Now, the feature doesn't work and GM has made it nearly cost prohibitive to get it fixed! when I had a defective seat belt on another GM vehicle, GM was forced to fix it for free. I feel the same should occur on any vehicles whose safety devices, such as ABS, fail at less than 100,000 miles.
