Hi guys.

I got the engine, wiring and ecu from my old omega (3.0l v6 shell rotten) going to transplant into a newer shell. but the car I got is a 2.2 auto

question - used to have traction control new car doesn't, would I be able to get it back somehow.

Yes if you swap the following...

ALL the wiring from the 3.0
ABS Pump
TC switch

Will need to remove the dash from both cars along with the scuttle and pollen filter housing (only to make removing/refitting looms easier)

[davieboy0312]

i have all the engine wiring loom and have the abs pump as well. but the rest of the car is in scrappy heaven

[05omegav6]

Without all the wiring from the dash to the engine bay/abs unit it's likely to be a non starter

[davieboy0312]

scrappy diving it is then. unless anyone got one I can purchase

[Jimbob]

Im not convinced you will get it working regardless. 

The ABS ECU needs to know the engine type its connected to, and talks to the Gearbox and Engine ECU's
There isnt an option to program it to a 2.2, so suspect it either wont work, or you will have a world of weird issues.

[davieboy0312]

I have everything from original car. engine, gearbox, ecu and wiring loom and abs pump all from original car.

[Jimbob]

ahhh misread sorry, thought you were trying to retrofit TC to the 2.2

[martin42]

Thats what i thought aswell.

[davieboy0312]

no point with TC on a 2.2

I had a 3.0l manual omega but was rotten at the crossmember at the front so stripped everything

got another car is a 2.2 auto and wanting to know if TC will work if I get a switch or will I need wires from switch to ecu or somewhere else

[05omegav6]

Do you have ALL the engine bay wiring, including the wiring from the ABS ecu to the engine ecu?

If not, get rummaging or pop a wanted ad in the test zone

[davieboy0312]

yea got the wiring for the abs unit to the whole loom fuse box in engine bay and everything. apart from dash loom

abs ecu? what that look like

[05omegav6]

yea got the wiring for the abs to the whole loom fuse box in engine bay and everything. apart from dash loom

Including both sides of both round plugs next to the battery and the loom from these/the engine ecu to the bulkhead?

If yes to the last item, then you might just get away with splicing to the same loom on your 2.2 with an extra bit of wiring to fit the TC switch and relevant dash loom the 2.2 might even have the dash wiring in place... pop out the blanking plate from between the alarm switch and the boot switch (saloon only) should be 3 terminals there. If there are, obtain a facelift TC switch and fit it. When you press it, engine running, if the TC light comes on below ABS lamp, then things might be easier
 
What age was the 3.0?

[davieboy0312]

its was a 2000 on a W
the new one is a 2000 on a X

fingers crossed its got it.

[05omegav6]

Take it both cars are facelift then...

What the 2.2 won't have is the wiring from the dash to the engine bay/abs ecu...
