i called my dealer about tc. he ran the serial # and told me my car had a "handeling and ride" package. he told me that tc was part of that and that there was no way to turn it off. the only switch i have is to start out in 2nd. i've never heard or not being able to turn tc off. anyone ever heard of anything like this? i have 98 firebird.

Re: traction control
No you can't turn the tc off, slp makes a button to turn it off, i haven't tried it, but maybe someone else has. FTPP has em, also you could take off your torque management, that will helpK&N air filter, Whisper air lid, magnaflow LT1 cat back, and magnaflow high flow cat, pacesetter headers, silverstars<br /><br />more to come soon<br />but for now im out of moneyComment

Re: traction control
Or you could pull the relay under the hood in the relay/fuse box for the TCS system.1995 Camaro 3.4 A4<br /><br />CAI,IAT RelocateComment

Re: traction control
i don't remember seeing anything on my car about tcs. the dealer said it was part the package, as anyone ever heard of that package or know what code would be on the door? the dealer also told me that if the tcs light comes on when you start the car you have tcs. that's the system doing a check. mine does this but i have no other signs of having tcs. i'm going to try and look for a relay, but i'm going on vac. so i have alot of other things that have to get done first. everyone may want to check for the light at startup to know for sure. i have tcs and sgs!!!Last edited by 1998FIREBIRD; 06-06-2006, 09:35 AM.Comment

Re: traction control
Not a clue about what code would be there.
Its under the hood should be with your fuse box under the hood, a little black box its a relay, on the cover it should say TCS relay, just pull the relay, right it shouldn't throw a code, the the light will probably be on.1995 Camaro 3.4 A4<br /><br />CAI,IAT RelocateComment

Re: traction control
TCS BAT is for Traction Control System (ASR) and ETCOriginally posted by Nikos95
If you pull the TCS BAT fuse, you will throw a code and the car will start up all funny like. It will light up the reduced engine power light too. I had to remove the PCM BAT fuse for 5 minutes to clear the code.
Anyone know a sure way to kill the torque management system for free?Last edited by BobDoLe; 09-01-2006, 09:10 PM.Comment

Re: traction control
I'm pretty sure if you don't have the ASR switch in the middle of
the dash you don't have traction control.
SGS=Second Gear Start
A sure way to find out is to go and do a burnout or loose traction
some way. If the car automatically kills the throttle then you have
traction control. If not, well then you don't.Comment
