What is it?

In my engine-less '96 Z28 'vert there is something that I'm unable to identify. In front of the ABS "block", there is another similar block that is connect with/to the ABS block. Could this be a traction control device? It looks factory, so I'm thinking it's not roll-control.



It is located where the downward turn of my '95's OE intake goes. Exactly opposite from the battery. There is also something further inside this nook that looks like some kind of small motor.

Any ideas?

I haven't followed the lines all the way. But they go down and toward the back, so I was thinking it may be the traction control system--but since I've never had a car with traction control, I don't know what that looks like. I guess I'll have to follow them if I get the chance tomorrow. Because I don't know where they end up...

Re: What is it?

That is your traction control for the rear brake portion. You'll see 2 lines from the master go into the ABS unit then the 2 lines go out to the front wheels. The other line that goes to the traction unit is for the rear brakes and the 2 lines coming out of the traction unit go to the rear brakes.

That's why some CAI's are reluctant to fit into ASR-equipped cars.
