2015 Cadillac SRX: ABS light or ABS activating

Filed Oct 17, 2026 · Brakes, Electrical · TX

Started hearing sounds on both sides of the car while driving. A sound that got louder the faster we went. Driving home on a 65 mile journey, about 12 miles from the house the ABS, Brake, and traction control lights all came on and stayed on. The car felt like it was much harder to drive. Pulled over safely and picked up the manual. Not much in there. Did a quick search on the web and found that this issue seems to be a long standing issue for my model car but that I could try to drive it home but do so with extra caution it don’t drive if the roads were wet. Roads were dry. Made it home and started checking fuses, battery, brake fluid and such Finding all apparently working. Took the car to a service center and explained the problem. He shook his head and said it’s likely the EBCM (electronic brake control module) and that he’s seen lots of them come in. He continued that the issue is that GM has discontinued the EBCM for that car and others. I asked him to run diagnostics and provide me with the codes shown. Unfortunately he was spot on when I saw the print out showing code u056D Brake control module failure. He goes on to say that parts can be hard to find. Checked with Cadillac and sure enough they don’t make the part any longer and as such I’m on my own. They could offer me a discount on a trade in but cannot fix the car. For real? When the EBCM goes out it’s designed to limit some of the vehicle controls like braking and traction control. Why no recall? Why create a safety issue that you are unwilling to fix. My wife has to drive 65 miles to help her 86 year old mom but this car is now very limited and not safe. My repair shop called and he found a used replacement at $900 not including the $700 price of reprogramming the VIN into the module and installing the part. Seems a recall should be implemented with Cadillac finding a reasonable solution for their customers. Without repair the car is not safe.

2015 Cadillac SRX with 87,397 has a failed Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) or ABS module. It can be made available for inspection upon request. Alexander Cadillac of Oxnard refuses to repair it stating a replacement part is no longer available (it can be repaired by a specialty repair company). They cite liability by using after market or repaired parts. Without a functioning EBCM - ABS,power steering and traction control do not work which puts me and others at risk. Worse, the failed EBCM is now causing the car to go into "limp mode", which cuts power to the engine and prevent acceleration. When making a turn onto a street, it suddenly went into limp mode and I was almost hit by an approaching semi-truck. The problem was identified by Alexander of Oxnard service center - but they refuse to make any effort to remedy the problem. There are multiple blogs on the internet citing similar systemic issues with the EBCM that is no longer manufactured but can be repaired by a specialty shop. Lights on the dash first started to appear in September 2024. Lights include ABS, Brake and traction control / stability light. New lights started to appear in June 2025 including Check Engine, headlamp and auto-parking symbols. Alexander Cadillac of Oxnard cites that the EBCM is drawing too much current and causing issues to other systems on the car - a cascading effect. I am very afraid to drive the car and fear that it will lose power when needed, stall or the brakes will lock up.

This vehicle has had an intermittent (for a few years) issue with all of the warning lights (ABS,Stabilitrak,Parking Brake,Steering) coming on when starting. If you tried to drive it, you would have no power steering causing the vehicle difficult to handle. This would not happen every time it was started. We took the car to the local Cadillac dealership and were told nothing was wrong and it was just the system going through the electronic check system and to just not put it in gear until after the lights cleared. That actually did work sometimes. Recently, it came off and would never go off. We took it to a shop that does other work on other vehicles for me. He found that the Electronic Brake Control Module was bad. He tried to source a replacement one but found that it was discontinued with no alternate part. He did find a used one which we are waiting on to be delivered and then installed. My first concern is that if this happened when my wife was driving she could lose control of the vehicle causing an accident. My second concern is how can GM discontinue a known problem (I found multiple forums discussing this issue) part with no replacement. The vehicle is 10 years old with only 75K miles. I have read this has been an issue for quite a few years.

BRAKE, ABS, and traction message came on at the same time. EBCM 20842710 is the part number. Been at BIG STAR CADILLAC in Houston, Texas a month with no explanation except waiting on GM for parts but the Dealership can’t tell me anything and I am ready to call the News station about this situation. They can’t get me in another vehicle unless it’s NEW with a hefty down payment that I don’t have. I have dialysis 3 times a week and now I have to use my wife’s car, now she can’t get to work. What are we supposed to do??? How much longer do I have to wait? They can’t answer that either. This is the USAand can’t get a simple part. No one seem to care either. Very distraught and unhappy. I need help and I need it NOW!!!
