Recently had to change the abs module in my RX8 and I have a 192 abs module in my 231, would anyone happen to know if the USDM codes would work in the UK models or if anyone has the 231 as built codes to program in forscan?

Ref this previous topic:

I experienced a P1688 error code earlier this year and my car went into a (very unpleasant) “limp mode”. The error code pointed to the ECU detecting the OMP not working correctly on a start-up check. I checked all the electrical connections were OK, then checked the 4...

Hi all,

Been having intermittent abs + dtc lights on the R3. Seems to be random when driving and not all the time. Assuming I need to replace the sensor if possible or is it part of the master cylinder? Any help greatly appreciated as per usual!

Cheers,

Joe

My stereo only has a single wire for remote amp OR power antenna but the Rx-8 has two wires for both of these. I looked into what a power antenna is, and apparently the Rx-8 has one that requires power for good signal through the rear glass.

The wire from the stereo supports up to 0.4A but I’m not...
