I think some had it but not all. Easy way to tell is to look at the part number on the ABS modulator, STC2778 is with Traction Control, STC2779 is without according to LRCat, although Craddocks site has them the other way round.
Hi Gilbert,
Thanks for that, I'll have a look in the morning. I have done too much again today. I pulled the Hurricane header off the right side of the motor, Re torqued the head to try to fix an oil leak from the head gasket. I then bead blasted the header and repainted with VHT high temp. paint as I was not happy with the finish. I then wrapped the header with heat wrap, now you can't see my nice paint job. And then refitted them. I just have a few bits and pieces to go then clean the engine and take it for a drive and see if the oil leak is fixed. I am not confident, but I am not up to pulling both heads at the moment. My back is killing me now. Hopefully no pulled stitches
Regards,
Alan.
Yep, mines a 1996 and does not have tc.
I've got a 2 wheel tc modulator in the shed to fit at some point
Hi Gilbert,
So if a P38 does not have any TC is it just a matter of replacing the modulator with one off a later model?
Or do you need to fit the matching Wabco computer behind the glove box?
Can a P38 with no TC be changed to 2 wheel TC?
Can a P38 with no TC or 2 wheel TC be changed to 4wheel TC?
Thanks,
Alan
On a car with no TC, you can change to 2 wheel TC by changing the modulator and ECU for the 2 wheel type. Whether you can change from none or 2 wheel to 4 wheel TC, I'm not sure but it wouldn't be an easy swap. The non TC and 2 wheel TC use the Wabco Type C ECU, whereas the 4 wheel uses the Wabco Type D and they are physically different and have different connections (Type C has one big connector but Type D has three smaller ones).
Hi Gilbert, I don't know if it means anything but my 1995 and 1996 P38's both have TC lights on the dash. And I have fitted the modulator from my 1998 parts car to the 1996 P38 after a brown undies moment one Saturday morning when the modulator shit itself when I was approaching an intersection full of vehicles at speed. Thank you for your information Gilbert.
Regards, Alan
Hi Folks,
I checked all 3 brake modulators I have at home and they all have 'ALB+TC' engraved into the front of them. So I am guessing all the vehicles that came to Australia had TC. Maybe they thought all Aussies were such bad drivers we would need TC.

I've heard rumours of someone managing to get 2 wheel tc to 4 wheel tc but an utter ballache.
Hi Tanis, I am not trying to upgrade from 2 wheel TC to 4 wheel TC, I was just trying to confirm the early model P38 came with TC. I have checked the 3 of mine I have at home and they all have ALB+TC on the modulators. So I am thinking it is only 2 wheel TC.
Regards,
Alan
Up to 99 MY (all GEMS in other words) had 2 wheel TC if they had it. It was only the Thor that got 4 wheel TC.
