Default master brake cylinder

so i need a brake cylinder. i was going to get it at autozone and they asked if my car had traction
control. i said yes. i don't really know. i think it has it. anyway, they had a brake cylinder for 1992 ls400 without traction control. the brake cylinder autozone showed looks exactly the same as the one on my car. does it matter . like i said there is no difference on the outside.

Yes you need to figure out if you have traction control or not because it does matter.

I would think that if you have the VSC button then you have traction control?

1: VSC didn't exist in 1992

2: Open the hood and check to see if the engine has two throttle position sensors, and a black box next to the throttle body that says "trac" or something like this one does:


3: Does the center console have a "trac off" button on the left hand side like this?:

Yoshiman... if that's a pic of your car, that is one impressive looking engine bay. Nice work.

That's the engine bay of my 1994 Celsior, I've since fitted a UCF20 engine cover on it.
