I believe the 2000 has a triangular pressure switch (facing the fuse box) while the newer has an over type plug.

You’re right I did notice in my reman the pressure sensor was different. But is the sensor the only difference? Ecu wise it all should work? I swapped the sensors but my issue is the rear brake lines are not getting any pressure or fluid from the BMC. I cracked the BMC hard lines to the rear ran the Autel program to air bleed and nothing comes out of those ports. So I’m wondering if the Ecu is different and the sensor switch might have caused any issues
When I did the BMC, I did not use any fancy electronics. Followed the instructions posted by a guy in Macedonia and it worked 100% for me. Been 2 years since the install and works 100% I bougth a brand new BMC. Rear was the easiest. just turning on the ignition and foot on the paddle is all it needs to pressurize the rear lines.

Going to redo the whole thing.

Update 9/12/24
Replaced the BMC again. Got in contact with Andy Le and bought one of his rebuilt units. Now everything works!
Word of advice from personal experience. Do not buy ENET remanufactured BMC. My suspicion is they either sent me the wrong unit either for a late model LX470 or GX470 or they do not bench test their product before selling because the rear ports from the unit they sent me was not getting any fluids at all…wasted a whole week trouble shooting.
Andy Le is great. Very knowledgeable. Fair priced. Has been doing rebuilds of these units for 10+ years. Does core exchange and is willing to share any bit of knowledge he has to help you.
After doing this job already a few weeks ago, I was able to swap units in about an hour and 15 mins. Took me another 45 mins or so to do all the bleeding.
Going to return the ENET junk.
Highly recommend Andy Le. For anyone looking for his contact because I had to jump through a few loops to find him. I asked him for permission to share and he said it was ok.
