let me drive my truck

I just got a 2010 tacoma TRD sport and there is one thing that i don't like about it that is when I start to get in a side ways skid it will beep and brake and but me stright agian it may be a good feature but is there any way that i can turn this off?

 

sit down with your owners manual and read through it. there a whole slew of different traction control settings, all which have their time and place. all this is good information to know.


short answer: when stopped, truck on, hold down the traction controll button for a few seconds. a light will pop up on your dash, traction control is off, and you are allowed to go have some fun

 

good read...

Pull one of the fuses...30 amp, should be pink. I think it says ABS by it.

 

am I the only one that had to read the OP's post like 4 times to figure out what he was saying?

 

Press and hold the traction control button for 3 seconds or so. It's the ones with the squiglly lines.

 

nope.

 

at a stop. When they say hold...hold.

 

thank everyone i just went out and tryed it out i think i understand it all now thanks again for all the help

 

OP: use this "." and "," everyonce in awhile.

glad it all worked out!

 

VSC intervention is what you experienced. As others have pointed out, read your owners manual. It isn't well written but its better than nothing.

As others have pointed out, with your vehicle completely stopped, pressing and holding the VSC OFF switch for a full 3-5 seconds will turn off VSC so you can have fun going sideways.

 

ur not alone takes most of use with out these fancy buttons a second to click.lol

 

Oh, right. Forgot you had to be stopped.

Glad it worked out. I go to Calgary every Christmas, and the VSC/Traction Control annoys the hell out of me. Every time you turn a corner on the ice, it breaks and beeps.... even at low speeds such as going into/out of the drive way. I can understand the idea behind it but it's WAY to sensitive.

 

The thing that amazes me is that there are quite a few people that spend 30K and don't do the research or understand completely what they are buying.

The short answer is you can turn it off but you can't totally disable it. If you want to totally disable it then you will have to do some wiring modification or get an older truck.
