2001 Chevrolet Suburban 1500

ABS RECALL 05068, CLEAN & INSPECT WHEEL SENSORS, 18 NOV 2005. ABS & TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS ON,16 JUN 2006 (55977 MILES). DEALER DIAGNOSTIC CODE C0265, ECBM ($925.59 PART) AND ALSO BPMV ($761.14 PART) PLUS APPROX 2HRS LABOR. I ASKED IF IT WOULD BE SAFE TO DISCONNECT THE PUMP FROM THE ABS SYSTEM UNTIL I COULD SEE IF THE RECALL WOULD COVER THIS COST, IT HASN'T HAPPENED AS OF THIS DATE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN OPERATION SINCE THIS SYSTEM FAILURE. I NOW HAVE LEARNED THAT THE RELAY ON THE EBCM THAT CONTROLS THE POWER HAS CONTACTS THAT WELD CLOSED WHICH CAUSES THE PUMP TO RUN CONTINUOUSLY. I ASKED IF I COULD HAVE THE OLD PART WHEN I GET IT FIXED AND WAS TOLD NO BECAUSE IT MUST BE RETURNED. I ALSO FEEL THAT WHEN I WAS TOLD IT MAY ALSO NEED THE BPMV THAT THE CHECK VALVE HOLDING THE PUMP PRESSURE COULD BE THE TRUE CAUSE OF SYSTEM FAILURE. I FEEL THAT PEOPLE THAT BUY THIS SAFETY FEATURE SHOULD HAVE IT WORK FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. I ALSO KNOW THAT THE REPAIR COSTS HAVE SINCE GONE UP. *TR
