Guest magpie9 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 i've been told that taking out the fuse for traction control will work, although it will also cut out your ABS and leave both abs and engine management lights on. is there truth in this and if so, what's the best way of doing this?

Guest magpie9 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 just working at a few things, trac control's annoying me. if you want to give it some it just cuts power. frustrating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean1933 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 The button below the stereo that says TRAC or traction control (cant remember exactly). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest magpie9 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 i can see that but no button as such. says it's off but still drops power if wheels spin. any ideas on fuse or can you isolate trac without annoying abs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermonkey Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 i can see that but no button as such. says it's off but still drops power if wheels spin. any ideas on fuse or can you isolate trac without annoying abs? i think you still have a small amount of trac on even if the button is off (ie its never fully off) i pulled the trac fuse in mine and it seems to have done the job, i don't know about ths ABS though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 On the auto's the trac control smooths out the gear changes, removing the trac fuse will make gear changes quite harsh. It doesn't disable ABS but you will get the slip cont off light flashing IIRC, ages since I did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I binned it a long while a go and just use the old right foot and more importantly common sense for traction control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
