    hi all, i have a 2014 AC 2.7 manual 4x4, after i put my 3" lift and 33" tires on it will engage the stablity control, and will nearly pull me straight through the corner, so i did what anyone would do, hold the TC button in for 5 seconds until it completely shuts off, so i thought. even with it all shut off it i try to take a corner fast it will still engage the stability control sometimes and make me almost go straight through the corner. im not asking for anyone to tell me how to drive i just simply want to know 1. is this normal to engauge when being shut off? and 2. what fuse can i pull to make it all turn offn abs 1 or abs 2? i had an 07 fj cruiser and i pulled the ABS SOL fuse and it shut all that b.s. off, i just want to do it to my 14 also so i can go out and play like i do in my good ol' 1985 toyota pickup? any help would be appreciated!

    You need to have your VSC recalibrated

    but that's a whole other discussion that tends to bring hurt feelings and menstrural cycles

    it is very disappointing, pulled the 50a abs 1 fuse and so far so good, only the abs and traction light are on.

    It is disappointing.

    I wonder if there is a way to make the VSC computer think the truck is in 4low. If it's tied to the ABS computer, I guess you would loose ABS too though. I really don't know much about the computer crap though.

    Yes , and despite Landphils post saying it's for non VSC trucks , it was subsequently found to work on VSC trucks

    Good read. I found that one or another one where the guy later tested how well it dug on a dirt road when slamming on the breaks. But on the trucks with VSC, I would like to know if that is a separate computer.

    As far as I know , there is no VSC disable mod that doesn't disable ABS as well
