Default suspension control module location

I'm working on a 2002 Z06 and need to replace the suspension control module and I cant seem to find it. It's not with the ECM or anywhere in the engine bay that I could find so any info I can get would be appreciated. Thanks

Suspension control module? On a Z06? I don't think it has one of those.

The car is having an issue with the suspension, I took it to a local shop and they told me that it came up with an issue with the ESCM so thats why I was planing on replacing it. what the car was doing was when your on the highway in the upper gears it would read on the dash that the shocks were inoperable, and would start activating the ASR like the back wheels were spinning faster than the front ones and cutting back the throttle. are you saying the 2002 Z06's don't have an ESCM?

No- it doesn't have one. It has and abs/active handling module. check out this site:
http://absfixer.com/

If you disconnect it, you will have two lights come on your dic. You can drive the car without the module, but you won't have active handling or abs. But you will be able to see if that solves the problem. The z's have the module in front of the motor. Most of the info you need is on the site above.

It's either the module or one of the wheel sensors. Most likely a wheel sensor. Usually the modules stop working. But it's pretty cheap to have it rebuilt and they have a high failure rate- I had to have mine rebuilt.

Or maybe the yaw sensor under the passenger seat

Are you certain that you are working on a Z06? Z06's don't have active suspension, so I can't think of any way that a "shocks inoperable" warning would be triggered in a Z06.

Closest thing I can think of is the EBCM, which has already been mentioned.
