Guest cruisemycar Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 hi guys and gals i need help i got a 93 j spec 6 speed the traction control light flashes says traction off all the time sometimes it wont do it until you put your foot down or after about 10 mins of driving its done this ever since i put a new battery in it for some odd reason the old battery was dead for about 2 weeks before i got it sorted out, pressing the traction button does nothing either,appreciate all the help i can get,do they have a common fault at all,can it just be unplugged traction control is not good anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul mac Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 you can disable the trac control completely by unpluging the trac ecu, it is located in the passenger footwell, it is the left hand ecu that is marked with trac, sorry i dont know much about whats on a manual as i am strictly auto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colsoop Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Check the fuse in the engine bay. Personally i would just ditch the system its a liability. Remove trac ECU and it wont flash anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckler Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Check the fuse in the engine bay. Personally i would just ditch the system its a liability. Remove trac ECU and it wont flash anymore. I removed the ECU, switch and the butterfly on the TB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I removed the ECU, switch and the butterfly on the TB Exactly what i did, but its slightly more involved than unplugging an ECU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I've read about the TC on numerous threads. I have a facelift, should i just do the same? I know its meant to be slightly better but i don't fancy keeping it if its uselsess and a liability. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
