View Full Version : Traction Control Disable...
High-C
03-19-2007, 01:04 PM
I'm sure that it's been discussed here before but... If there is anyone here that could help me figure this out, that would be great. I want to reverse the TC Off button so that the TC is only on when I hit the button, on demand. I want the light on only when it is engaged, not when disengaged like it is now. Any easy fixes?<!-- / message --><!-- sig -->

I don't think you can do it on a Marauder.....Mustang boys can and some have tried whatever they have with no luck!!!:shake:
My Diablo tuner has a disable TC function but the dash lights up like Christmas and CEL stays on.....I couldn't get it to work at all??:confused:
Good Luck and let us know if ya figger it out!!:bows:

Jack;
I do not remember a Marauder owner buying and installing one of these

since the last time this was discussed.
Did we get a definitive "no, this does not work on Marauders"?

I thought we did get a definitive no.
there was a long discussion.
That switch on the dash works well to turn it off, and it won't just suddenly turn itself back on like it does in cars from some other manufacturers.

If the dealer did it, it must be easy.

Especially if he didn't charge for it.

He charged me about a couple of hundred of dollars.

I have just made a habit of pressing the button if I am driving alone on dry, sunny days. Expecially in cooler weather. :)

You can either reflash the ABS module, or you can easily reverse the switch's function using a relay (but not the indicator, it still works as before, light on = t/c off) It also defaults the switch to 't/c off' on start up.
I've helped a few CVN guys with this. If you don't mind having the light on,
I'll post up a diagram for you
