Default Took tcs, abs and cc off. Have a question now

I had the motor out of the car and decided to pull some dead weight out that I never use. I took all three out and used the sjm abs delete kit. Now my question is, since I took the tcs off, will I have any problems with it? I basically just pulled the unit and that's it. Don't want the tcs but don't no if I need to do anything else

You will likely need a non-TCS throttle cable.

Yep, besides having a crap-ton of lights lighting up your dashboard now it will work great with a non-tcs throttle cable. I believe I paid roughly $20 for an OEM unit, new, and it only takes about 5 minutes to swap it in.

In short, no, they aren't bulbs they are LEDs soldered to a circuit board. When you disable TCS nothing happens. When you delete abs, I got Brake, SES, and ABS lights. Basically, you remove your gauge panel, pry it apart carefully, then cover the LED with black tape or something of that nature and put it back. Then no more lights.

When I deleted abs I also got a service vehicle light.

Or un-solder it if you're good with that sort of thing. Tape is easier and quicker though lol

I never had the service vehicle light until I unhooked the abs.When I plugged it back in the light went off.When I unhooked just my rear abs sensors I had my abs, brake, and tcs lights on. The service vehicle light comes on when you unhook from the abs module.

I don't think you can access that code with Hptuners.

I got a few buddies who work at dealerships. Think it can be deleted there?
