Orange 94 Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 My 2004 Mustang has traction control - its annoying. I always forget to turn it off. Is there a way I can permanently disable it? Or can I at least put a toggle switch in place of the momentary switch so I don't have to turn it off every time I start the car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D3vst8r96gt Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 I believe it just looks for a voltage change like the overdrive switch on the autos. I wired just a random momentary for my auto that was easier to reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number Tew Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Can't you disable it in the tune? I thought you had a tuner for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttocs Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 if its turned on/off by a switch I would think that it means there are two wires that need to be connected, or one that needs to be cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number Tew Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 I could have sworn it was something you could tune for, but I could be wrong. My thought process is it is tied into the computer system somehow to make it crab claw the brakes. It should be able to be shut off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found more info - pre mid 01 you can just solder the wires together. After mid 01 you can't. 14 hours ago, Number Tew said: I could have sworn it was something you could tune for, but I could be wrong.

I'll see if I can do it with my hand held... If I can't I don't really want to may for a tune right now - so I'll order this. It's a controller that will disable/enable.https://www.dallasmustang.com/trac-ready-1999-2004-with-traction-control.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member fiveohwblow Posted June 12, 2017 Supporting Member Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Correct, SCT3 handheld on it should be a standard feature. That said, I quit using them a year ago and if a firmware update removed this I am speaking out of line. Even with a custom tune I was able to toggle on my handheld. I always defaulted to off upon startup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
