Hi there. As long as the ABS module is the same design and has the same ports on it then it will work just fine on your vehicle. Be sure to bleed all of the brake lines after replacing the module. If you need further assistance with your ABS module, then seek out a professional, such as one from Your Mechanic, to help you.
