Disable Hill Holder on 6MT

Does anyone know how to disable the hill holder "feature" on the 6MT Tacomas? It's the thing where if you are on a slope like your driveway and let your foot off the brake the truck holds itself for a couple seconds then rolls backwards. It drives me nuts. I always want my truck to roll freely when I take my foot off the brake just like every other MT I have owned in the last 15 years!

I've searched online and this forum and have not found anything conclusive. I feel like there has to be an inclinometer or something I can remove. There is no reason my truck should need to know if it's on an incline. That' s my job as the driver

I have a 2017 TRD Sport 4x4 MTLB

 

I have the 5 MT it also has hill start assist. I did not like it at first.
Then I got used to it. But...yeah...I hear ya. Too much unnecessary BS, that can fail later down the road.

 

i have a 16 4x4 DCSB OR MT6 and have not notice that feature on my truck, if i let the brake go, it rolls instantly.

 

This is only a "feature" on the TRD Sport which unfortunately I have. I needed a MTLB and a Sport was the only way to get that in the USA.

 

AC OR M/T FTW!

 

i know... please dont rub it in

 

Nothing so complex. It holds on level ground too, you just don't know it because...you know... level.
Easy way to defeat it? Don't press so hard on your brake. Just barely depress it and it won't engage.
I have it, it took me a week or so to get used to it but now its no big deal. It works about as fast as I do so no change.

 

good idea! But i dont really want to avoid it. i just want to disable it completely.

 

My 17 SR 5 speed had it. So does my 18 Sport

 

I hate this on the AT too. Mine makes a horrible grinding noise when the system allows the truck to roll back.

 

Nope, not how it works. System gets activated when wheel sensors sense backwards movement.
Probably could tell you how to disable it if I had the EWD

 

Pretty sure it only kicks in at a certain grade percentage

 

EWD?

That is correct. A certain angle tips it. It does not activate on slight slopes but does on my driveway.

Angle of slope has nothing to do with how HAC or DAC Work on Toyota. It is all based off of rearward movement of the wheels.

Then coast to a stop on that hill and see if your brakes set...

 

So any ideas on how to disable it based on it?

 

Dang I kind of wish my truck had it.

 

I have an AT with it and dont like it. I used to let my 1st gen truck roll back a bit while off-roading when I needed a second chance try at driving over a ledge or slick spot while climbing, now I have to stop and put the truck in reverse when I need to just go a few feet downhill?

 

I know, right? Its so frustrating every day.
