Default Traction COntrol Reversal Module

I recently bought a 2000 Camaro SS. I'm slowly doing add-on's. My latest is a Traction Control Reversal Module (TCRM). The situation - When I turn the key on, I have a LOW TRAC panal light that comes on, momentarily. So, I assume I have an ASR system. I don't have a on-off switch for ASR, though. My question - Will installing a TCRM do me any good? Without an on-off switch for ASR, how do I turn the TCRM on and off. The install instructions from SLP are very thin and sparse.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

ABS = low trac as well.

NO TCS/ASR button generally means NO traction control.


why dont you just umm nail it and see what happens? if you got ASR your fun will stop rather abruptly, if not you will lay drag all over the place.

i need to build one of those someday just too lazy to bread it.

Thanks for the info. You're right, when I nail the pedal, I can spin 'em all the way down the street. Never any bog. Looks like no traction control, after all. Oh well, that means I've got a brand new SLP TCRM to sell, cheap!!!

guys you got it wrong when you install the tcrm it turns off your trac control, when you take it out of your car then your trac control will turn back on

1. He has a BRAND NEW traction control module, (ie never installed)
2. His wheels spin endlessly

I think I paid about $59 and change from SLP. Like I said, I took it out of the package, looked at the instructions and then posted my question. Obviously, I don't need the thing and I should have done a little research befor spend the money. A good lesson for an add-on newbie.

I don't know how paypal works, but I'll give you this thing for $45.00. It'll be easier than sending it back to SLP...

You got it if samz28 doesn't want it. I'll be away from my computer until tomorrow morning, so I'll let you know, then.
