Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Traction Control Switch Off, or Competitive Mode
The Traction switch has multiple functions depending on the switch sequence applied. The Traction will be re-enabled by default when an ignition cycle is performed. When the Traction switch is pushed once, only the Traction control will be disabled. When the Traction switch is pressed twice within a 5 second time frame the EBCM will disable Traction and put the VSES into a Competitive mode which will limit VSES control. When the Traction switch is pressed and held for 5 seconds the Traction and VSES will be disabled
