Default 1214 Code - EBCM being rebuilt this week by ebay vendor

Got the dreaded 1214 code that could not be cleared by resetting DIC or even with a Tech II scanner:

Update: They received the unit today (1/5/2006) I was informed "a couple of days" for diagnostic and rebuild. I'm hoping to hear from them by Tues/Wed.



Sending my unit to ebay vendor (ate1234) this week for a rebuild.

From the testimonials they appear to be legit....Anyone use these guys before and how did it turn out? I pray the rebuild will clear the code for good.

Love you get your feedback once the rebuilt is installed. I have a feeling this is something we will all face at some point in time.

Default Hope it doesn't happen to my car for a while.....

but, let us know how it goes. Can't see paying a lot of money to the stealership if it can be rebuilt. May I ask how much it cost for the rebuild?

Thanks,
Tim Glover

only $325 + shipping costs!

The dealership quoted me $2000 for a replacment module...WDF

this seems to be a great deal, I hope its true what they advertise, we shall find out in a week or so.

Ok..the unit has arrived but when we took out the unit, all 6 TORX bolts got stripped.

So we went down to Fishers hardware and got some equivalent bolts. The cars is at my tuners house 35 miles away and before I make the trip I want to be sure these bolts will fit like the original bolts.

Will these bolts fit?

Here's the video:

I used that vendor also. Got the rebuilt unit back pretty quick. Problem was solved for 3 months, then came back. I'm still trying to determine if the rebuilt BCM is the problem this time or if it's something new.
