- VX Berlina LS1
Yeah st3r3otyp3 mate, I've actually got just the black electrical module part/sensor being sent to me by a mate that's just removed one from a VY SS over in WA, and I just got him to send the sensor part, and not the entire module, because it was going to save on costs to ship it, and I knew that it was only going to be that sensor part that was actually faulty, but because it is coming off a VY SS, and my car is VX Berlina (with LS1 engines with traction control in both cars), I wasn't sure if I'd run into any problems with just switching that part over.
I spoke to a local wrecker, and they told me that if it's come from either a VT/VX or VY that has an LS1 with traction control, and the back part of the ABS module on both cars has the 2 pipes coming out of them, instead of the single pipe, that it'd work with my car fine and that I wouldn't have any issues, but like mpower said up above, that if it's came from a VY SS, and the part number underneath ends in 590, then it'll be incompatible with my ABS system, because my ABS module will end with either 389 or 486. I just thought though, that because I'm not replacing the entire ABS module, and I'm just replacing the black electrical control component that bolts onto the front, that it'd be the same, and that I shouldn't have any problems with it at all.
I was fairly sure that if I was replacing the entire ABS module that I'd have to get the exact part, but because I'm just replacing that black electrical module part that bolts on the front, that it'd be the same for most commodores with Gen 3/LS1 engines, unless of course it was something like a GTS, that had a really different braking system, but I thought that the VY SS and the VX Berlina ABS systems would be pretty close to identical.
To tell you the truth, I'm not really sure what advice to follow now, because I don't have a problem with replacing the part at all, but I just don't know if it's going to be compatible, especially after getting completely different stories from different people
