Traction control

[Dominicgantt56]

I turned off the esc button in my 2011 sedan 4.6 v8 but whenever I tried to give it a little swing it was still catching traction and there is not traction control button but there is a fuse in for that so would I be able to put a button in to completely turn off traction/stability control. Or would I have to do the pull the fuse trick??

Turning off the ESC button actually disables only the traction control function, which will allow the wheels to spin, but does not disable the stability control, so the power will be still reduced whenever yaw is detected. Pulling the fuse, can’t remember which one(s), will disable it all but will also light up the dash with warning lights as it will disable ABS, cruise, and other features, and you will need an OBDII tool to clear all of the codes. Of course installing a switch in the circuit will achieve the same result as pulling the fuse.

Thank you!! I was looking into a switch would probably be more convenient without messing something anything up

It will be fun for a moment, until you realize you're getting a one-tire-fire. No LSD for the 1st gen Genesis sedans.
