ASR shuts itself off I pulled the spring loaded gear out of my ASR (Automatic STALL Retarder) pulley stack. At light wheel spin, the low trac light came on for a second, went out, all was fine. The second time I tried a full ***** to the wall full throttle out of the hole launch. Car launched as hard as GSC's will let it, with wheelspin, LOW TRAC light came on, at the 1-2 shift the ASR OFF light came on, and the ASR would not come back on.
Now, my question is, did the light come on because the little electric motor didn't have the load of that spring loaded gear working against it? Or did it come on because the PCM didn't see the TPS reduced at all? I think I could work out a way to either force the spring back onto the gear and grind the secondary teeth smooth, or work out a tension strap to fake it out. But if the PCM is calling the shots based on the TPS, I think I'm screwed. The only good thing is that I get one good launch out of the setup before the PCM disables the ASR till the next startup.
Thanks for any help.
