Re: SWITCH OFF TCS SYSTEM ? Posted by Ari [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: SWITCH OFF TCS SYSTEM ?, GAETAN, Fri, 7 Jun 2002 11:55:23 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
It depends on what you mean by 'cut off the TCS'.
There is an 'off' switch fix for '92-94 cars, manual transmission. All it does is allow wheelspin. It doesn't fix any TCS Limp home problems - if the TCS isn't working right, this doesn't fix anything.
The 'fix' is the addition of a switch. After you start the car, if you hit the switch, it sends a pulse to the TCS to disable itself. TCS is re-enabled if you hit the switch again, or if you shut the car off, it will be re-enabled when you turn it back on. That's part of the software, so that you don't lose TCS due to a bad switch. So you need to hit the switch every time you start the car (some extra circuitry would work here).
The pin for this switch is active on ECM (electronic control modules) in '93 and '94 year cars. It's not active on '92 cars. For '92 cars, you need to get the ECM from a '93 or '94.
So no, it's not simple.
Sorry.
