I am sorry but I cannot really confirm if that module is all that makes difference between SAT and normal electronic automatic transmission. I think you should ask this question to a more mechanically knowledgeable person. One thing for sure is that the 'Sport' button works perfectly.

...and what do you mean with the "Sport button works perfectly"? what is the effect?
Also, the throttle response becomes very sporty.
