can you disable traction control, but keep ABS?

im pritty confident with my RWD skills,

im no drifter! but i know how to handle it.

i want to disable the traction control, its doing my head in having to press the button all the time.

i understand you can remove a fuse under the bonnet. can someone advise which one?

this will not effect the ABS at all will it?

PS i have a 6 speed box (aparently it messes up auto changes)

Give it a go and see how you get on. Pull the fuse, nice straight road, slam the brakes.

PS it's "pretty"

there should be a fuse diagram on the inside of the engine bay fuse box lid, take out the ONE you think it is from that (its a small thin one from memory) and then start her up and if the traction light comes on without the usual button press then you got the right one

ok thanks, ive heard its suppost to flash all the time if you remove the fuse.

can someone clarify if the ABS will still work when i remove this?

Just unplug the trac motor on the throttle body, that will shut down the trac but you will get a warning light on the dash to tell you its not working.

The ABS will be unaffected.

lol, yea i can go out and slam on the brakes to see,

just checking if there is a certain way of doing it, rarther than trial & error....

No, I meant with regards to the warning light.

Go out, take the plug out. Start the car and see what lights are on.

ahh sorry

its bit dark now, will have a bash tomorrow afternoon in the light

Pull out the 7.5a fuse for traction control, the 'slip control' light will keep flashing to tell you there's an error. Remove the dashboard, and remove the bulb... Job done.

If you have a manual, it won't have any effect on anything else, ABS will work fine.

Why is everyone so anal about losing abs honestly...

I've never had abs in any of my cars, that includes my last supra and I've never had a single issue, granted there is a bit of a learning curve to heavy braking without locking up but it isn't that hard

so you can manage a supra without traction control but can't be asred to pump the brakes if it disables the abs

thats just lazy
