Throttle cut? No fun allowed?

Don’t bash me too hard guys. But tell me how come my Tacoma seems to cut the throttle/dumb down the power when trying to drift and do doughnuts in dirt, sand, snow. With traction all the way off, (button held down), even when In s mode to try to keep the trans from up shifting. Come on Toyota your keeping me from letting out my inner 16 year old.

The stock granny map is tuned for MPG, would be my guess. OV Tune FTW.

 

ABS is still on

 

same if you power brake the truck

 

I’m guessing there is no way to disable?

 

There is. Either put in 4lo and activate your locker but that's not ideal for the shenanigans you're after, or wire in a kill switch that takes your ABS signal and grounds it (this makes your ABS module think the locker is engaged).
There's a write up on here, google it if you don't have an electrical diagram for your truck

 

subbed for the aftermath

 

I’m interested. I’ll start searching

 

I have not seen this for the 3rd gen, only 2nd gen. Not sure the ecu is really going to like that on this truck.

 

Maybe turn ECT on and ABS off

 

Let us know how it goes with the dealer when you Fuck it up and try to get Warranty Service.

G.

 

Is the dash indicating anything? ABS is definitely still on like others have said but you should still be able to do donuts and what not without intervention if VSC and TRAC are off.

 

I know I can do donuts and drift in my truck. Vsc/trac needs to be turned off. If you get going 30-35 it automatically turns back on so no high speed drifting. The truck makes a horrible grinding noise from the rear and tries to straighten out.

 

Oh, IDK I have a 4x2 pavement queen....wish I can go back and spend the extra $$$

 

Lol, I just have a 2wd sr5 nothing fancy. Maybe long travel it one day.

 

Maybe the write up isn't yet for gen 3 but the principle is the same

 

Yeah for sure should be. I mean they're doing it in the commercials...

 

I’ll have to look at the dash next time. I don’t believe anything poped up.

 

The ABS is so loud on these trucks when it kicks in.

 

This can't end well!
