The ETA arrived, and was installed. Still no worky, - now the ASR module is said to be bad.

If it weren't for the fact that I opened up the old ETA, I would've been a little skeptical of that diagnosis.

I opened the side of the ETA that has the gears in it - there is a little trapezoid board on there...the wires under it had NO INSULATION left! None. It's a wonder the car ran at all.

This, seems to answer my question posed in this thread. Yes, a bad ETA can damage modules. So far it is the ASR module that quit - we're not sure about the LH module.


Hope this thread helps somebody.
