i'm thinking of doing away with my traction control. what all do i have to do to have this done, or should i even attempt it? i don't drive the car when it is raining real hard or if the roads are real wet.

I think you can just go under the car and unplug the connector at the rear end, not sure if the ses light comes on or not though.

All has to do with the magnetic pulse it reads off the axles.
what I was trying to say was to turn the the TCS button to off! Im assuming thats what its there for!

I had bought a used 10 bolt that had no TCS/ABS hook up. So, I ended up just unplugging the wires and sensors and saving them till I get ahold of some different axles.
My ABS INOP and TCS lights stay on all the time.. I'll get if fixed one day but its not on my high priority list right now.

thanks fellas. that answered my question, but i did forget to mention that i was also wanting to remove it to clean up the engine compartment a little more. i guess i can't do that though if it is tied straight in with the abs in the rearend. my plan was to run a throttle cable from the pedal to the throttle body (like the cars without tcs). this would take out the tcs box in the front of the engine bay, and all of the extra cable. thanks again for your alls advice and tips.

he is thinking right, that is the TCS module up by the battery. I dont know about cruise on other cars, but the cable from a non-tcs car would be needed, and the cruise setup..
shouldnt be too hard to find i wouldnt think..

its all relevant to the thread to me...
Im dont know where to turn it off, as i dont use hptuners, but i think you can turn nearly everything off w/ it.
its not tired in with abs that i know of.. abs is all on the left side by the fuseboxes...
