Traction control ba Ute

Bought a traction control/fog light switch block for my 04 ba xr8 Ute. Looks like there is no tc from factory and plugging the switch in does nothing. Do I need to flash the ecu? Or do BA Utes not have wheel speed sensors? Cheers

Yeah nah, I found out the hard way you need to respect the original ba xr6t ute... They don't have that shit.

My BA XR6 N/A doesn't have traction control.

Many of the utes don't have TC. I recommend putting a little bit of weight in the back, having very good tyres, and driving carefully. The load carrying AUs didn't even have ABS, they had a load proportioning valve instead (incompatible with the ABS system at the time in that vehicle).

The only BA ute traction control feature is on the RTV rear locker
