Default Tcs??

Hi all, have a 2 quick questions.
my 2:73 10 bolt is about to grenade and I'm looking at getting a 3:23 replacement rear and it is an ABS/TCS rear from a Z, before someone says buy a 9 or a 12 that is way way out of budget so please don't suggest it.
onto the questions:

my Formy does not have a TCS button on the console, but when I turn the key on one of the lights is LOW TRAC.
did these cars have TCS without the button?

I have not lifted the car up to look at the top of the pumpkin to verify 3 or 4 channel, is there an RPO code on the door that would say it came with TCS?

Thanks in advance for your time and replies.
Bill

If it has TCS, it will have a button.

RPO code is NW9.

ok, one more question.
since the rear is a 4 channel I know the ABS will not work on it, but will this affect the entire ABS system?
ABS wont work in the rear, will it still function in the front?
Thanks in advance

That's a great question. It will not work with only the front sensors, but I think you can rig it up for the ABS to function.

Use the LR speed sensor (black & red) as a signal for your 3 channel system. You will also need to retrofit a single brake line junction block at the rear end because the 4 channel uses 2 flex lines, and you only need one.

I think this could work.

Maybe someone has done this.
