I gave my unit to Terry Fair, who will be testing it over the next month. Will see how it does.

Want to trade modules? ;DArizonaBOSS said:Bill replied on S197forum and was saying the additional lights are not malfunctions on the -CA unit, just more legal CYA stuff by Ford so it doesn't get used on the street.
I'm not sure exactly where the lap time is gained Steve and admit I'm skeptical, but the person telling me that it helps is pretty experienced. I think the gains on the SN95 cars is more significant than the S197s since the ABS systems have advanced so much. The tire wear improvement piqued my interest more to be honest. I also brake aggressively and don't often engage the ABS, although last year noticed it kicking on routinely in some rough braking zones running slicks. My hope is that it would help in those areas to control the braking better, thereby improving lap time and tire wear.....or they'd fix the tracks in those spotssteveespo said:I guess but if I have a real brake system failure and ignore the lights because they're always on, that wouldn't work out well for me or Ford.
Gary where do you think the lap time is gained? I brake pretty hard with only rare engagement of the ABS, only if I spike them on or carry too much pedal trying to trail brake. With sticky tires lock up should be even less an issue right?
If someone has the technical upside I'd like to hear it.

Where were you able to find a C versus a CA? Leftover inventory?Centri5.0 said:Got the C module, installing next week....

EBay. Paid a $75 premium. There is another one on there. They want a $150 premium. So $430 if I remember.cloud9 said:Where were you able to find a C versus a CA? Leftover inventory?
VTBoss302 said:My experience after installing the ABS race module last year was pretty much the same as ArizonaBOSS
After swapping modules the IC lit up like a Christmas tree
Car was driven for a bit then shut down
Next time the car was started all the lights were gone except the TC off solid yellow light and the message advancetrac off (which can be turned off)
Been that way ever since
Only real difference is that I ended up getting the M-2353-B (module with bracket) because I had an upcoming track event and the M-2353-C (just the module) was out of stock at FR at the time (June 2013)
Curious to know what's different about this updated M-2353-CA and hope you all get it figured out

Yes. When I tested the new unit I could clear the message with the reset button.cloud9 said:The check braking system light can be cleared just like the TPMS warning by hitting the reset button I assume.
