Does anyone know how to disable traction control permanently?

 

Not without loosing ABS as well. Not a good idea. Guess you'll have to keep turning it off at each start.

Cheers,

 

Can anyone tell me why both the ABS and the trac control dash light would vome on at the same time? My trac control is not functioning when the light is on also.

 

The ABS module is either 'off-line' or has DTC(s) for the fault logged.

Fastest way to diagnose is to interrogate the module.

 

Without a functioning ABS pump, the Trac Control cannot function. The Track control is basically an LSD diff which is automatically activated when needed (one rear wheel about to spin). The ABS sensors provide info as to which of the two wheels is about to start spinning and the ABS ECU will activate the ABS pump and direct pressure to the brake of the offending wheel

 

Thanks for the tips guys. Im not sure of how to interrogate the abs module. I plugged my OBD2 diagnostic tool into the car but it isnt telling me anything. When I shut the ignition off, the dash lights go away for a minute but come back on every time i start to drive again. This started a few dsys ago when i found myself in some snow and the traction control came on. Soon after that my idiot lights came on and i have no trac control now

 

you need a scanner that’s capable of communicating with the car, most generic ones will only read P codes.

very likely it’s this problem
