bodilx6 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 What is the SOL and what is the MTR? Can I pull one/both and will that result in getting the TRAC system turned off on my J-Spec? Will it leave any side effects? http://onh93a.blu.livefilestore.com/y1pkTdUH0C004RkPCdZqCvDLLbQ4dWwMkq-kTyOJw5vvAwbyfkMD445T0iFL4CzqPHoue2XIUbHxm8/TRAC.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorin Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Your trac light will flash constantly if you just pull the fuse. I just hit the button to turn it off instinctively every time I start the car. Doesn't bother me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't bother me. trac light doesn't flash if you remove the fuse, it just stays illuminated, its the o/d light that has a slow flash but as i cant see it with my turbo timer in the way it doesn't bother me.

On an auto the trac also smooths out the gear changes, even when disabled in the cabin. Pulling the fuse makes gear shifts more aggressive and might result in a faster time.

paul mac Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Pulling the fuse makes gear shifts more aggressive and might result in a faster time. dont know whether this guy is auto or manual but disabling the track on an stock auto box will make for a harsher gear change and could lead to premature failure of the box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bodilx6 Posted October 27, 2008 Author Share Posted October 27, 2008 i just removed the trac ecu... Cant figure where it is... Manual going by his garage. Yep, 6sp If the only side effect will be a constant light in the TRAC button, I'll just disable that as well. Whats the MTR and the SOL? And which one should be removed?

Hermit Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 i just removed the trac ecu... Does the ABS still work if you do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 unplug the trac ecu is the simplest, it stops any error lights. Does the ABS still work if you do that? No, the ABS is a completely seperate ECU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermit Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 No, the ABS is a completely seperate ECU I guess you mean 'no it doesn't stop working' Reason I asked that is because although it's a separate ECU, the two communicate and there's an error code for that communication going 'wrong'. But if it doesn't think that disconnected is 'wrong' then that's cool, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
