Default Au series 1.5 fairmont traction control

I'm asking on behalf of a mate and my old fairmont. He's the owner of the car and wants to know what is required to install the traction control. The loom for the button is in the dash and we have the button, but don't know what else is needed.

the abs unit is different it has an extra rear brake outlet for the extra line to the rear . normally there is one brake line to the rear and it splits at the diff , with TC there are 2 lines all the way from the ABS to the callipers. the electronics are housed in the ABS unit but they interact with the ECU as far as I know if you fit the switch the TC ABS unit and the right brake lines it should work
