Default Traction control switch

anyone know if you unplug the TCS switch if the traction control will stay on all the time?

when we take it in for sevice they can't beat on it by turning off the traction control...if i unplug the switch it will be on all the time.I know it got the **** kicked out of it a few times at the dealer for the fact the throttle stop on the tb was worn from being at WOT...at least with the tc on they can't break the new auburn i just had installed.

that wont help...they can still romp on it...
best thing you can do is find sombody who could change the rev limitert and speed limiter setting to a severely low amount...like 2000 rpm and 20 MPH...
might be able to do that with a cheap HPP3 on ebay or something
or you can spend a few hundred dollars and buy some tunng software...
of make friends with somebody with some tuning software....

I agree. If you don't want to spend the money, I would take the car somewhere else or have a talk with the service manager.
