Default abs module swap question

Can I swap a 2000 XJR ABS module INTO a 1997 XK8?
Can someone confirm if they are compatible?

I did notice the 2000 XJR ABS module has 6 metal lines connected to it.
The 1997 XK8 ABS module has 5 metal lines into connected to it.

The 1997 XK8 has the abs light on + traction failure light.
I just wanted to see if the 2000 XJR ABS module would fix it.

Thanks for thinking about this

Why not repair the one original to the car? $150. Some components are backward compatable but not something like the ABS module.

You obviously won't be able to use the newer part on your car--different parts. It'll take exactly the same part # that you presently have.

Welcome to Auto Ecu.com in Rogersville will repair your original ABS module for something like $99 plus $15 return freight--and give you a good warranty.

Once I had an ABS question Sunday night @ 11:30 p.m., and they actually answered me in 15 minutes. That was good service. I used them earlier this month, and the part was promptly returned to me.

Thanks for replies. I was trying determine if the abs issue was in fact the module.
I'll just send it in and get it repaired. One less thing to worry about I guess.
