Default Help

My EBTCM is starting to throw codes and is activiating my TCS while driving and even putting it at a standstill. I have done the normal things such as clean all grounds on that system etc. The great part is when i went to GM to order it. it is no longer available and they show no stock.

Can anyone help with a work around/interchangable part year/ upgrade the system to a different year without sending computer into overload, or do i just need to shut it off when i start the vehicle and eat my losses

any help would be appreciated

I have the shop manuals and have narrowed it down by tests etc and feel 99% sure that this is the problem but they dont make a new part anymore.

it is a 97 vette. I got ahold of him and he doesnt just sell the module he has the whole abs unit for 1600. I found the module at a junkyard from a vette with 60,000 miles. I know i am taking a chance but they have a 90 warrenty. I will take my chance for now. You would think with the marvels of the corvette it would be better thought out than this.
