Thread: Im sick of the TCS how to get rid of it??

Hit the TCS button.
IF you want to get "rid" of it. you lose abs with it and you pull the abs fuse

The car doesn't take off hard with traction control. Traction control limits torque by spark and fuel, up-shifts to a higher gear to limit torque to the wheels, and in extreme cases can modulate the front brakes to bring them under control. It's much different feeling than torque management, which I think he experienced.

Traction control's purpose isn't to make you take off when doing a burnout. It's to bring your wheels under control so you don't go in a ditch in icy/snowy/rainy conditions. It assists you in stopping the wheels from spinning as you get out of the throttle, not do all the work as you just hold the throttle.

on my 99 its right in DIC

far right iT SAYS TCS on the botton i dont think you guys have it =[

97 did not have TC period.

Built in the PCM, 97s have TM. I have some of mine disabled. But not all of it. TM saves your tranny. So far it is has worked for me.

My advice is unless you have a built tranny, leave it as it is on 97s. Maybe take out the harmful turn off injector stuff. But if you have a stock tranny, pretty much leave as-is.

I would imagine this is the traction control system doing its job. On my DIC there is no button to turn it off or on. And i know there is nothing wrong with the motor or tranny that would cause this. I am almost positive the title says 97.

That would be torque management. The longer your tires spin, the more timing the PCM will pull. Not traction control. But rather torque management all too common on the 97s.

Again, FWIW, I have mine still enabled because it will save your tranny....trust me, leave it there or pay the price.

Nope, no light in the DIC for TCS. Just a light that says Low Trac when the ABS comes on.

I would look into Trannyman's builds. They seem to be good stuff....
