JimMeder Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 I have a 07 and when I go to the track I want traction control OFF. Sometimes I forget to turn it off. When I do turn it off and then finish a session when I start the car up for the next session it turns the traction control back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeet Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 I have a 07 and when I go to the track I want traction control OFF. Sometimes I forget to turn it off. When I do turn it off and then finish a session when I start the car up for the next session it turns the traction control back on. I met a guy with a 2010 GT that had his turned off. He asked the guy that did his tune if it could be done, he did it with the hand held tuner. He didn't say if it could be turned on again by pushing the button.

singularity Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 if you turn it OFF using a handheld tuner it stays OFF...there is a way to modify the system so that default is OFF and you can still turn it on if you want to: http://forums.themustangsource.com/f669/traction-control-auto-off-mod-462075/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimMeder Posted July 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 My SCT tuner just made me a custom tune for the track to turn off TCS. Problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrfarmdog Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 can you turn it back on if you get caught in the rain? If your tuner turns it off you have to load in another tune that has it tuned on to turn it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimMeder Posted July 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 mrfarmdog is correct, I cannot turn in back on without uploading the other tune. I have a 93 octane everyday driving tune and a 93 octane tune for the track that shuts off TCS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07SGT5687 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Dude, just do the solenoid mod. Takes about 30 minutes and is sweet. Just flips the script. Starts "off" and just hit the button to turn it on if caught in any inclement weather. I nominate it for mod of the year! :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txcobra Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 Agreed. I did this mod and it was very easy and effective! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrfarmdog Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 I just did this mod today using the schematic in the link I posted. Works as advertised... Sweet. I may have to do this. One thing I noticed when my tuner turned mine off is that you got the beep indicating that something was wrong. I did not want to hear that all the time and wanted my car to work more like factory so I had them turn it back on. Does this new setup cause the same issue?

vandy09 Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 hmm thats pretty cool. might have to get that one done. i HATE TC when you dont want it on it wil hit on every time. almost killed me in my old gt. pulled out of a parts store and it hit on. bogged my car down and i about got T boned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07SGT5687 Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 almost killed me in my old gt. pulled out of a parts store and it hit on. bogged my car down and i about got T boned while I don't like leaving the traction control on either... the above scenario doesn't seem to me as being the traction control's fault...

SHELBY1962X Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 I had a Diablo tuner for my SVT Cobra and set the default for traction control -off. Just pushed the button and it turned it back on. My tuner from VMP just came in for my '07 last week and haven't had a chance to see if the same can be done with it.

07SGT5687 Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 So I had this mod on my 05 GT and loved it. I had originally found a relay that was identical to the one Taco Bill showed so I didn't question it, but now that I've finally got around to doing this on my SGT, I couldn't find the exact same relay. Can anyone tell me if this one will work? I hope so, I just got it all put together and want to connect it in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's a standard Bosch style 30 amp 4-wire relay with a control circuit and a controlled circuit. Where did you find it? I can't find one ANYWHERE in Co. Springs. They're SUPER common but when I go into a parts store and ask for one they look at me like I have a 3rd eye on my forehead. Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to kind of describe it to them and one of the guys recognized what I was talking about. Next question... can you do a add-a-circuit.... to an add-a-circuit? I already have one in that fuse position for my radar detector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already have one in that fuse position for my radar detector. I don't understand your question. Are you asking if you can run two circuits on the same fuse? That would depend on the total amperage the two circuits pull and the rating of the fused circuit. If that isn't what you're asking, try me again...

I'd like to piggy-back 2 add-a-circuits off each other on position 20. Not sure if it's wise though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it's wise though. You would need to know the current draw (amps) each circuit pulls. If you run them in series, they add up. If you run them in parallel, they divide but still double the FUSE load (since the fuse is in series to the parallel circuit). You don't want to pull more than about 80% of the fuses rating (*Basic* "rule of thumb"). Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
