Having a new VSS installed next week

[ulflyer]

After a series of "Faulty Brake" codes and several phoncons with BRP techs by the mechanic trying to figure out why, they decided to replace the VSS and one is now at my local dealer ready for installation, under warranty.

Other than it somehow has control over the brakes, what the heck is this VSS thing that the fiche lists for $1000?

What else does it do?

VSS = Vehicle Stability System

Another of the many Spyder processors that controls braking and acceleration and on and on...

Part of the subsystems that make up the Nanny.

The VSS is the Vehicle Stability System. It has several components and is not replaceable in itself. You are likely getting the VCM replaced. That is the Vehicle Control Module. It controls your brakes.

Svc Mngr looked at this listing when I dropped it off a couple days ago and to my question as to what part BRP sent, he said "VSS, cost $1089" or somesuch number. They called this PM and said it was ready and took 7 hrs labor. Whew, glad I don't have to pay for that. I did have a new air filter installed while it was torn down.
Picking it up tmr.:yes:

Edited 8-10-13: Got her home today. Cruise ct don't work. Assume it just needs a reprogram. Was too hot to take it back today.

New turn sig works like a charm. Now I can use it in city/heavy traffic without having to look to see if its off.

Dammit, I knew there was a catch there somewhere. Now I won't sleep tonight! :yikes:
